16 Nov 2006 – Launch of Fiocruz Genome Comparison Project |
|
|
|
This project will perform a pairwise comparison between all predicted proteins in complete genomes available in the public DNA databases. When scientists study a new protein, they look for similar, better-understood proteins as a guide to their function. This in combination with other information will help annotate these genomes leading to faster and better understanding of cellular function and infectious agent relationships. |

18 Jul 2006 – End of the Human Proteome Folding - Phase 1 Project |
|
|
|
HPF1 is over on the grid. This doesn’t mean its over for the scientists. The calculations are the raw footage, now we have to edit it together to make the movie. |

23 Jun 2006 – Launch of Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 project |
|
|
|
The goal of HPF2 is to compute higher resolution structures for proteins involved in malaria, recently identified cancer bio-markers, and other key proteins to help better understand their role in living systems and disease processes. |
