Hello,
We've begun to fold proteins taken from the human microbiome. We're very excited about this, but it will take a long time to finish all of the work units. We decided to include it under the umbrella of the HPF2 project since it is so directly relevant to human health. We can't wait to get the data back from this and to share our analysis when the HPF paper finally gets published. Thanks for crunching! -- Patrick October Status Update - Human Microbiome Project |

Thanks for crunching! -- Patrick October Status Update - Human Microbiome Project Patrick, First thank you very much for the great update. Any chance you could update the experiments table with what organisms we're folding please? Inquiring minds want to know  http://homepages.nyu.edu/~rb133/wcg/experiments.html [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 26, 2010 11:09:38 PM] |

We're very excited about this, but it will take a long time to finish all of the work units Any chance of defining "long time." 1 year ? 10 years ? 50 years ? Any preliminary estimate of the number of work units ? Maybe this is unanswerable at this time, but "enquiring minds want to know." Cheers

Hello Sgt.Joe,
If you read the Microbiome news, you will find mention of at least 30,000 unknown genes from prokaryotes, eukaryotes and virii right at the start of the project. Nobody knows how many hundreds of thousands will be found in coming years. Lawrence |

Hello Sgt.Joe, If you read the Microbiome news, you will find mention of at least 30,000 unknown genes from prokaryotes, eukaryotes and virii right at the start of the project. Nobody knows how many hundreds of thousands will be found in coming years. Lawrence Thanks. I did read that but do not have the understanding enough to translate that number into workunits. I am guessing "unanswerable" is the correct answer and the duration is "a number of years."  Cheers

Will the very high quorum and replications be reduced or it will stay as the HPF2 stands today.

Hypernova,
----------------------------------------Not to misunderstand, the 19 results in a distribution (init 19, [first validation at] quorum 15) are still each unique, so technically [REAL 100%] Zero Redundancy, which is the best of the best. Meantime, since the size up, the average CPU times have settled on 9.1 hours, a hefty change by 50% from previously. Run them under Linux and you'll never ever see them error out like they occasionally do under Windows, (or frequent for some "don't know why" special devices). --//-- edit: just checked and maybe the techs realized they overshot their average run time target... it's sloped down in the past few day and yesterday back to 8.76 hours/task.

Any way to tell which WUs are for Human Microbiome Project?
