Genome@home Weekly Report

Team Status

As of approximately 14:55 04/05/2002 UK, all production count in points unless otherwise indicated, +/- figures denote figures relative to last week.

Total units/genes: 209295/17,005 (Since last update: 15501/1056 :: last 168 hours: +15211, +467.4)
Team Rank: 27 (+1)
Active members: 20 (+1)
+4 Teams, mean production: 9300 (-727)
-4 Teams, mean production: 5736 (-1719)
Average units/gene overall: 12.30
Average units/gene this week: 14.68

No upstets this week, we’re moving forwards as predicted towards our next target, FreeDC. They lie around a fortnight away at current rates of progress. Little other team news to report in the DMZ between here and 300K. In other news, we’ve put a little confortable distance between GENEtals and are accelerating away. Speedguide, in position 22 produced 19,000 this week however and while not out of our reach if we’re going to go for them (and why not) we have quite a distance to close lying as they do a full 80,000 ahead.

Long range tracking:

Genome news page :: Genome Yahoo newsgroup

A new protein has been introduced which has been observed to cause problems. Allegedly fixed now but it’s something to be aware of.

Appendix/Notes

[li]Topic headings are hyperlinked to data sources or relevant pages.
[/li][li]Total units/genes production for TPR is calculated since the last edition, last 168 hours data is for comparison with all other figures from statsman.
[/li][li]+/-4 team measure is the mean of average production of the nearby teams - in comparison with our own weekly output figures it gives an approximation of our output respective to peer teams. If +4 figures are high we’re going nowhere fast, if -4 figures are high we’re being outpaced.
[/li][li]Genome @home units will vary in length, ‘difficulty’ is approximated into required processing time with the units measure.

Nice one Nitrile :slight_smile: Blimey me at 3 in the weekly big hitters :smiley: Didn’t expect that :blush:

Thanks for another fine report. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the weekly stats nitrile :slight_smile: :thumbsup:

And, for awareness, it’s not a new protein, but a group of new proteins. The problems were sorted within about 12 hours of launch - gotta give Stefan some kudos for that :slight_smile:

RMSD group of projects: Overview

One of the innovations developed by the Genome@home project is the design of new protein sequences based on large ensembles of protein backbones, as opposed to single protein structures. This group of subprojects, numbered {RMSD02, RMSD04, . . ., RMSD20}, aims to optimize an important parameter of this approach: the structural diversity of the ensemble used for design. Structural biologists often measure structural diversity by the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of the corresponding alpha-carbon atoms between two proteins; hence the name of the project. Each subproject consists of the same 89 proteins, taken from the original phase2 set. The difference lies in the size of the structural ensemble used to design each protein, with RMSDs ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 Ångstroms.

Analysis of this data set will allow us to optimize the design protocol used in future Genome@home research projects. The RMSD project will run through to the end of May, 2002.
