Three New Strategies for Helping Your Body Sniff Out Cancer and Kill It. Play to Cure: Genes in Space. Play to Cure™: Genes in Space is the world’s first free mobile game that uses the collective force of players to analyse real genetic data and help beat cancer sooner.
The game The mission of Genes in Space is to collect a fictional substance dubbed Element Alpha. This represents genetic cancer data, which might underpin certain types of cancer. As a recruit of the game's 'Bifrost Industries', your mission is to collect the valuable and tradable substance Element Alpha and rise through the employee ranks by: Mapping your route through the densest areas of Element Alpha.Following your route as you fly through space collecting as much Element Alpha as you can, destroying asteroids along the way.Avoiding and shooting asteroids to get to the next level of Element Alpha collection.Upgrading your ship to become more powerful and trading your Element Alpha for more points.

Nutritious rice for the World. Nutritious Rice for the World. Project Status The WCG computations have computed.
Analysis of the resultant structures is underway. News May 3, 2011 - Unfortunately, we did not get funded for the analyses of NRW. However, Ram Samudrala has received a Pioneer grant for re-purposing existing drugs We have been in the process of re-tooling our local computational cluster. Thus NRW is still alive and kicking. A paper has been published in BMC Notes regarding the GPU acceleration of the clustering process of the analysis We will be applying again for funding for the NRW analyses and 1KP shortly. May 19, 2010 - Ram Samudrala answers questions related to distributed computing as part of the "A Better Rice for the World" article by Alexander Janssen. Nutritious Rice for the World. Determining the structure of proteins is an extremely difficult and expensive process.
Though it is possible to computationally predict a protein's structure from its corresponding DNA sequence, there are thousands of distinct proteins found in rice. This presents a computational challenge that a single computer cannot solve within a reasonable timeframe.[5] Once that the entire rice genome had been sequenced, the effort shifted to identifying genes that are involved in increased yield, disease resistance and nutritional value. This problem is made more difficult because very few cereal plants have been sequenced, and therefore, many of the rice genes do not resemble any genes of known function. Welcome to Docking@Home! Docking@Home. World Community Grid - Accueil. World Community Grid. World Community Grid (WCG) is an effort to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle scientific research projects that benefit humanity.[3] Launched on November 16, 2004, it is funded and operated by IBM with client software currently available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD operating systems.[4][5][6] Using the idle time of computers around the world, World Community Grid's research projects have analyzed aspects of the human genome, HIV, dengue, muscular dystrophy, cancer, influenza, rice crop yields, and clean energy.
The organization has so far partnered with over 400 other companies and organizations to assist in its work and has over 78,500 active registered users as of April 2014.[2][7] History[edit] World Community Grid initially only supported Windows, using the proprietary Grid MP software from United Devices which powered the grid.org distributed computing projects.
