More targets?

There's another BOINC malaria project that appears to be aimed at finding more targets for antimalaria drugs. Have you exchanged data with them to decide if both projects working together can get the work done faster?

Re: More targets?

That question was answered on the FA@H forum by the project scientist. *No* overlap, in fact an entirely different search.

Re: More targets?

P.S. robertmiles, this piece was delivered to my doorstep via the BOINC Manager Notices tab, which in excerpt included this paragraph
In general, most scientific researchers closely guard the details of their current and future experiments. It's all kept secret, until the research has been completed and published. Revealing the finer details of future experiments is never done, because researchers don't want other scientists to "scoop them" and publish the research before they do. But we will ignore that rule--advancing the fight against multi-drug-resistant mutant superbugs of malaria is far too important; keeping everything secret would slow down our progress. In addition, by disclosing the details of our current and future GO FAM experiments, we are hoping to motivate and inspire other malaria researchers to plan their projects in a way that can complement the research we are performing on World Community Grid, instead of trying to compete against it.

Just in case, if any duplication is worried for, certainly effort is taken to prevent this and call for suggestions of additional bits that could be run here on GFAM, which I understand is currently into its last 2 experiments, 22+23.
