The survivor of the Montseny massif
Calotriton arnoldi is a newt species which lives exclusively in the Montseny massif. With a very low number of representatives, isolated in subpopulations, one could expect the species to present genetic endogamy problems. However, studies investigating the genetic “health status” of...
PopHuman: a reference genome browser of the human genetic variation
Human genetic variation is the set of genetic differences that distinguish our genomes, either among individuals within a population or between populations. Its study has significant evolutionary and medical applications. The research group...

What can we do to protect the rural land surrounding big cities?
Limits between big cities in developed countries and the rural land around them – the Peri-urban Agriculture (PUA) - are becoming blurred due to intensive ground urbanization. Researchers of the UAB Department of Geography have studied the...
The words leader/líder and their resonances in an Italo-Latin American multinational corporation

An electronic tongue to identify hard to detect explosive compounds
Chemicals explosives are used in mining industries and civil constructions¸ unfortunately also in terrorist attacks. One of these compounds which is often used in this last objective is triperoxid of triacetone, because it can be produced...
Protein digestion grows up to assist in the study of the ubiquitinome
The Proteomics Laboratory CSIC/UAB has developed a method for large-scale protein digestion (LFASP) and demonstrated the applicability of this method to the study of the ubiquitinome. LFASP is currently being used to investigate ubiquitinome...
Fermentation in solid state and composting as alternatives for the treatment of hair residues
The research group at UAB GICOM evaluated and compared two different methods for treating waste leather industry so for to reduce the environmental impact mainly in wastewater. Researchers have found an...
