Genome@home

Genome@home

Genome@home was a distributed computing project run by Stefan Larson of Stanford University until March 8, 2004. The goal of the project was to design new genes and proteins for the purpose of better understanding how genomes evolve, and how genes and proteins operate. Practical applications of the research included the potential development of new medical treatments.

The project was rolled into the Folding@home project, and is no longer supported.

urprise shut-down

The long-running project closed down with approximately 2 days' notice, despite recent messages from leaders about 'upcoming work'. This caused some surprise and disappointment among contributors at the time. Reasons appear to be financial. Users were told that results-to-date are available for any scientist who wished to see them.
