----------------------------------------Mapping Cancer Markers and Help Conquer Cancer Scientist MCM is still grinding through lung cancer data. When we finish with lung cancer and switch to a new cancer dataset, we'll be sure to announce it! lanbrown, the recent change you noticed [We have gone from seeing (file uploads) upwards of 2MB to seeing almost nothing.] is caused by a combination of two factors, a change in the search parameters, and greater (or shall we say overzealous?) efforts to control excessive result sizes. Until about two weeks ago, the lung cancer analysis had focused on gene signatures composed of 10 to 20 biomarkers, with some work units being random surveys of "signature space", and others being optimizing searches. The newest work units are looking at very short gene signatures (5 to 9 biomarkers) and longer ones (21-25 biomarkers), and are configured for random surveys. The time it takes to evaluate a single gene signature depends in part on the size of the signature. (As you might expect, larger signatures generally take more time to evaluate.) Signature size can also affect the work unit result size. As you've probably noticed, both the run-times and the result sizes vary in this project. Neither is perfectly predictable, though we are working to improve the consistency of the run time and to limit excessive result sizes. To control result sizes, we filter-out the lowest-performing signatures from the returned results. Each work unit specifies a minimum quality threshold that all returned results must exceed. For the first few batches with these new shorter and longer signatures, we chose a conservative threshold. We will adjust the filter in the near future. It's important to note that even though the current work units are not finding many successful gene signatures, these negative results are contributing to the statistical picture that this project is slowly building. Each work unit reports back how many signatures were tested, how many failed the test, plus details on the ones that passed. So every result contributes. But sadly, not every work unit finds a one-in-a-million signature. |

It's been just over a month since we welcomed gchenna to the WCG team as a replacement for knreed. During that time he's made only 3 posts. Getting upto speed as a fully fledged member of the tech team no doubt takes time, despite previous involvement with WCG, but I would have expected a somewhat higher profile.
---------------------------------------- In addition gb009761 observed if you've been in IBM GBS's division for 14 years (as well as having previously worked on the WCG website), why no badges? This is still the case. No badges and no crunching for gchenna IMO not the way to gain an understanding of the issues and frustrations of the volunteer crunchers. |

Bear in mind he might have a crunching profile AND an official profile for the forums, like I believe knreed used to have...  |
