Acceso a productos electrónicos en una red local: soluciones en la biblioteca de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha

There are large numbers in the market of digital resources on CD-ROM or by economic issues, or lack of online versions of the same, we have to keep subscriptions in local hardware. Allowing access to these resources for all users within a network, including avoiding duplication in the acquisition, supposed to resolve several problems. It exposes how has been solved in the UCLM, multicampus University of very complex structure, to provide access through both the website and in the OPACs of libraries

Servicios bibliotecarios en las bibliotecas digitales

A library is defined as much by its funds for its services and staff responsible for them. However, when speaking of Digital Libraries usually omitted any mention of services. It addresses the services can be offered from a Digital Library, is a comparative study of the services currently offered by some of these libraries and discussed the case of the Digital Library of UCLM

Limiting replication stress during somatic cell reprogramming reduces genomic instability in induced pluripotent stem cells

The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from adult somatic cells is one of the most remarkable discoveries in recent decades. However, several works have reported evidence of genomic instability in iPSC, raising concerns on their biomedical use. The reasons behind the genomic instability observed in iPSC remain mostly unknown. Here we show that, similar to the phenomenon of oncogene-induced replication stress, the expression of reprogramming factors induces replication stress. Increasing the levels of the checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) reduces reprogramming-induced replication stress and increases the efficiency of iPSC generation. Similarly, nucleoside supplementation during reprogramming reduces the load of DNA damage and genomic rearrangements on iPSC. Our data reveal that lowering replication stress during reprogramming, genetically or chemically, provides a simple strategy to reduce genomic instability on mouse and human iPSC.S.R. was funded by a Ramon y Cajal contract (RYC-2011-09242) and a grant (SAF2013-49147-P) from the MINECO.

Genomic analysis of the blood attributed to Louis XVI (1754–1793), king of France

A pyrographically decorated gourd, dated to the French Revolution period, has been alleged to contain a handkerchief dipped into the blood of the French king Louis XVI (1754–1793) after his beheading but recent analyses of living males from two Bourbon branches cast doubts on its authenticity. We sequenced the complete genome of the DNA contained in the gourd at low coverage (2.5×) with coding sequences enriched at a higher 7.3× coverage. We found that the ancestry of the gourd's genome does not seem compatible with Louis XVI's known ancestry. From a functional perspective, we did not find an excess of alleles contributing to height despite being described as the tallest person in Court. In addition, the eye colour prediction supported brown eyes, while Louis XVI had blue eyes. This is the first draft genome generated from a person who lived in a recent historical period; however, our results suggest that this sample may not correspond to the alleged king.This work is supported by FEDER and Spanish Government grants BFU2012-38236 and the Spanish Multiple Sclerosis Netowrk (REEM) of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (RD12/0032/0011) to A.N., BFU2011-28549 and ERC Starting Grant (260372) to T.M.-B. and BFU2012-34157 to C.L.-F. and S.C., and a predoctoral fellowship from the Basque Government (DEUI) to I.

Derived immune and ancestral pigmentation alleles in a 7,000-year-old Mesolithic European

Item does not contain fulltextAncient genomic sequences have started to reveal the origin and the demographic impact of farmers from the Neolithic period spreading into Europe. The adoption of farming, stock breeding and sedentary societies during the Neolithic may have resulted in adaptive changes in genes associated with immunity and diet. However, the limited data available from earlier hunter-gatherers preclude an understanding of the selective processes associated with this crucial transition to agriculture in recent human evolution. Here we sequence an approximately 7,000-year-old Mesolithic skeleton discovered at the La Brana-Arintero site in Leon, Spain, to retrieve a complete pre-agricultural European human genome. Analysis of this genome in the context of other ancient samples suggests the existence of a common ancient genomic signature across western and central Eurasia from the Upper Paleolithic to the Mesolithic. The La Brana individual carries ancestral alleles in several skin pigmentation genes, suggesting that the light skin of modern Europeans was not yet ubiquitous in Mesolithic times. Moreover, we provide evidence that a significant number of derived, putatively adaptive variants associated with pathogen resistance in modern Europeans were already present in this hunter-gatherer
