15 Dec 2016 – Big Data and Big Plans: Next Steps for Uncovering Genome Mysteries |
 |
 |
 |
World Community Grid’s role in the Uncovering Genome Mysteries project has ended, but the research team’s work continues as they analyze the results of the calculations and prepare to apply the data to medical, agricultural, and other real-world applications. |

12 Apr 2016 – Uncovering Genome Mysteries Hopes to Shed Light on Zika and Other Viruses |
 |
 |
 |
Uncovering Genome Mysteries is analyzing protein sequences from Zika and related viruses in order to help scientists better understand them. Dr. Wim Degrave, who is deeply involved in Brazil's response to the Zika crisis, gave us this update to describe how these analyses fit into the larger work of Uncovering Genome Mysteries, and how the project could help scientists develop new tools to diagnose and treat Zika virus and similar diseases. |

14 Oct 2015 – Analyzing a wealth of data about the natural world |
 |
 |
 |
The Uncovering Genome Mysteries project has already amassed data on over 200 million proteins, with the goal of understanding the common features of life everywhere on earth. There are tens of millions of calculations still to run, but the team is also making preparations for analysis and eventual publication of the data. |

26 Feb 2015 – Seven quadrillion comparisons later, Uncovering Genome Mysteries is just getting started |
 |
 |
 |
The Uncovering Genome Mysteries research team has started analyzing results from their massive ongoing project, which is comparing proteins between diverse organisms from around the world. Better understanding of similarities between proteomes should help scientists develop sustainable technologies, renewable materials, productive crops, and new treatments for stubborn diseases. |
