The main benefit to BOINC is that it allows you to join multiple projects easily and control the amount of CPU resources each project gets. This helps to make sure your computer is always running a project — in the event one project has no work, another one automatically runs.

How about creating a Lifeboat Rosetta@home team? I’d join that. Folding@home is so big that I think we could make a bigger marginal difference in Rosetta, and their science is quite exciting. More than Folding in many ways, IMHO.

A 582,970 base pair sequence of DNA has been synthesized. It s the first time a genome the size of a bacterium has chemically been synthesized that s about 20 times longer than [any DNA molecule] synthesized before. This is a huge increase in capability. It has broad implications for DNA nanotechnology and synthetic biology. This means that the Venter Institute is on the brink of sythesizing a new bacterial life […]
