Hey everyone, a quick update...

Since the project began, you've sampled a space of about 3 billion potential structures for each protein and been credited for turning in the best ones. We've received structures for 6800 proteins so far -- that's over a billion structures. There are about 40,000 proteins to generate structures for, so we've got a while to go still!

While you continue to generate these structures, we'll be looking through them in more detail using clustering techniques. This will reveal to us those structures that resemble real proteins. We've applied this iterative process at smaller scales with success, and this larger pool of data for clustering will improve the accuracy of identifying good structure predictions.

And yes, the status image has been updated. :)
