New Mexico Center for Spatiotemporal Modeling for Cell Signaling announces Art and Science of Systems Biology Exposition in Santa Fe March 26-27 2010
Published March 15, 2010
The Art and Science of Systems Biology is a two-day event that will feature public lectures on quantitative biology, workshops for kids, and an exhibition of winning pieces in the NSF-sponsored 2009 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. This competition celebrates the grand tradition of the visualization of research—powerful statements made not through words, but through visuals such as DaVinci’s diagrams or Rosalind Franklin’s x-rays.

Protein responsible for “hotspots” found by Center for Genome Dynamics investigators
Published January 1, 2010
Jackson Laboratory scientists have found that a protein, Prdm9, turns certain locations on chromosomes into “hotspots” of recombination activity during reproduction.
NIGMS invites applications to establish Centers of Excellence in Systems Biology
Published August 20, 2009
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) invites grant applications from institutions/ organizations proposing to establish Centers of Excellence in Systems Biology. The goal of this initiative is to promote institutional development of pioneering research, research training, and outreach programs focused on systems-level inquiries of biomedical and biobehavioral questions within the NIGMS mission.
Center for Genome Dynamics researchers build a better mouse (gene) trap
Published August 9, 2009
To fully explore complex genomic and genetic questions, researchers need better tools. A new microarray developed by scientists at the Center for Genome Dynamics can capture the full spectrum of genetic diversity in laboratory mice, enabling the kind of genome-wide association studies in mice that have been successful in human populations.
