Dr. Bonneau,
Any chance you can convince Dr. DeLong to let us crunch his genomes? (I realize this is probably a longshot.) http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/01/060126191002.htm Cheers! |

This is what this community is all about, layman people interested in science helping scientist to interconnect their research among themselves which ultimately leads to synergy of resereach all over the world. We are the senses they are the brain, world community grid is the body

The new genomic data is certainly grist for the SIMAP project, using BLAST to compute similarities between proteins (which is one way to index and organize proteins), but it would probably not be immediately useful for us. Our role at WCG in HPF is to serve as a crunching tool to generate structural predictions that scientists will look at and use while annotating proteins (deciding what they do, which cell processes they are involved with). Unless scientists are actively studying a group of proteins, adding structural predictions to them is a fairly useless activity (in my opinion).
