Human Proteome Folding Project Continues to Produce
Significant Results |
|
| Work on the first phase of the Human Proteome Folding project is
drawing to a close. Nearly all the calculations on World Community Grid are complete, and a team of
re-searchers at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) is now working around the clock (partly due to
the fact that the project involves researchers around the globe, and partly due to our drive to publish)
to process the results and get them out to other researchers and the volunteer community that
contributed so greatly to this project. Read More >> |

As such, Lawrence provides significant assistance to other members in the forums, answering a range of
technical and project-related questions. Lawrence, like all the Community Advisors, is critical to the
smooth functioning of World Community Grid, helping the official technical team ensure that the volunteer

| Technical Tips - Teams |
|
| Teams are a fun way for you to join with a group and compete with other
groups to see who can crunch the most. You can participate in teams by going to the My Grid page and then
selecting My Team. You can either join a team or Create a New Team. When you are on a team, you can compete
with other teams to see who can get the most members, total run time, points, and results returned. Joining
a team does not affect your individual member statistics. Read More >> |
