Thanks to our members for their generous contribution to the Genome Comparison project which is very near completion. This weekend we expect to see the steady outflow of work units on this project go down to a trickle as we finish the last remaining batches of work. Within about 3 weeks, all of the final results should be in and returned to the researchers and at that time no further work units will need to be sent for this phase of the project. However, there may be some future point in time at which we revive this project when more sequenced genes become available for comparison.

We will soon be sending a news email about this project's completion along with news about other recent project completions and provide more information about future projects launching soon on World Community Grid.

Some of you who have set your preferences to only contribute to this project will find that your agent may go into a paused state. If that is the case, we encourage you to change your settings to contribute to the other projects. At some point we may reset the preferences for users contributing only to the Genome Comparison project back to the default of contributing to all projects, so that their agents do not become totally idle.

The researchers will be providing more information about this project's results soon. Thank you again for your spare computer cycles which have made this project possible!
