Just curious. Can you explain Genoming to me??? I have NOT a clue what it is!

Project goal: understanding genomes
The Human Genome Project is nearing completion, and scientists are working hard to develop the understanding needed to use this wealth of genetic information in ways that will be significant to medicine and humankind. One of the most important ways to do this is to study the other genomes and individual gene sequences that are already available to us. By understanding how these genomes work, we will be able to put the huge amounts of data (over 50, 000 genes and 3 billion nucleotide base pairs) from the Human Genome Project into biological and medical context, giving it real meaning.

Proteins, the molecular products encoded by genomes, are the functional units of all cellular machinery. Our partner project, Folding@home, is striving to understand how existing proteins attain their specific, functional three-dimensional structures. The goal of Genome@home is to design new genes that can form working proteins in the cell. Genome@home uses a computer algorithm (SPA), based on the physical and biochemical rules by which genes and proteins behave, to design new proteins (and hence new genes) that have not been found in nature. By comparing these "virtual genomes" to those found in nature, we can gain a much better understanding of how natural genomes have evolved and how natural genes and proteins work. Some important applications of the Genome@home virtual genome protein design database:

engineering new proteins for medical therapy

designing new pharmaceuticals

assigning functions to the dozens of new genes being sequenced every day

understanding protein evolution

As you can probably guess by now, designing just one new gene sequence is already computationally demanding. To design hundreds of new sequences for hundreds of proteins, literally thousands of computers are needed.

(See Scientific background for more details about genomes, proteins, how proteins and genes are related).

How you can help
To design these large numbers of protein sequences, we need lots of computers. By running the Genome@home protein sequence design client, you can lend us your computer while you're not using it, for as long or as little as you like. It simply runs alongside your other programs and does its calculations in the unused cpu time while you're away from your desk, or even while you're working on your computer. You won't notice a loss of speed, and your computer will work as usual. All you see is a small window that shows you the protein sequences you're designing. If you don't want to look at it, just minimize the window and move it to a corner of your desktop. A day or two's worth of running Genome@home is enough to design new protein sequences that the world has never seen before. All the sequences get added to the Genome@home database, so every little bit helps.

Fullscreen:

I'm not normal.

And look at the lower left corner of my first screen. That's the F@H program, and I'm on the stats list.

Actually, NOW (at least the bottom few) are 4 lines, since these damn pics have widened the page.

Do you have to upload the results manually or does the client do it automatically?

I just joined.
Gotta help get rid of that sig

Ok, thanks.

I'll leave it running 24/7 as long as it doesn't get in my way at all.

Do you think a P3 600 @697 will help much?

Qwijib0, how about decreasing the font size of your signature as people join or something ?

just a question about genoming, about the genes...can't coporations copyright those genes discovered and won't they probably end up making them so that you still have to pay for it?..

I don't think they can because it would be like person copyrighting their DNA, last I heard, that was illegal...but if human cloning became legal in the near future...

Alright... the 'size=' vb code is equal to the number of people that still need to join

I don't know about that, but they can (and will/do) profit from this. Yeah, you'd be doing it for the "greater good", but don't think that they won't milk every grant and donation dollar because of it.

Alrighty Then Got my Dually Athlon MP1800's Genoming away. Actually looking at perfmon it looks like the 2nd CPU is doing Most of the Genoming. Thing is running damn near full load. The 1st CPU is at about 10% probably running only OS threads. Ahh the beauty of Dually's. You can genome and play a decent game at the same time!!!!!! Now about that sig...

Nice machine. If you really wanted to kick out some #'s, run two clients... one on each processor. The G@H client runs at lower priority, and shouldn't effect gaming, or other higher priority processes. Thanks for joining!!!
