Rosetta@home

[Macmaniac]

I don't know if anyone has heard about this. Is Rosetta@home the same as Folding@home?

If not maybe we should get a team together it looks like a good cause.

It seems we have a rival 😀, if you can call it like that. It's about the same as folding, but is seems it is more specific for a couple of deceases. When I first read the title, Rosetta@Home, I thought it was only for the new Intel Macs that where folding with Rosetta, lol.

Rosetta is kind of the swiss army knife of structural bioinformatics. They do modeling, docking, and some other stuff.

The Rosetta@Home project is structure prediction from sequence.

Well, if you have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, I'd like you to join my Core 2 Duo Symposium.

PC's or Mac's -- I'm not fussy.
