Розетта будет принимать участие в CASP 9 (Critical Assessment in Protein Structure Prediction).

CASP - соревнование алгоритмов и гридов по лучшему предсказанию 3-д структуры белка по его химической формуле

We are gearing up for CASP9 and we'll be using Rosetta@home extensively. See the announcement for more details.

Hey everyone !

As some of you may know CASP9, a community wide experiment in structure prediction, is starting in less then 10 days. As usual we are participating with both a human prediction group and a brand new automatic server, called RosettaServer. We will be utilizing BOINC heavily during the next 4 months, as you can see we already have nearly 4 million workunits lined up.
We have been very busy getting everything ready in time!

CASP 9
CASP is an international experiment to assess the state-of-the-art of the protein structure prediction field. Sequences, whose structures have been solved but which have not yet been published are sent out to participating teams and we have a limited amount of time to send back predictions. The whole thing is conducted in a double-blind fashion ensuring fair assessment and truly blind prediction.

We will be testing a number of new strategies during this period, these will be carried out by the human prediction group and crunched on BOINC.

In the automatic category we have modernized out old prediction server (Robetta, created more then 6 years ago) and replaced it's heart with Rosetta's most modern implementation. Among many scientific improvements, we have also, for the first time, connected the public structure prediction server to BOINC for both ab initio prediction and homology modeling.

For the community, by the community:
After CASP this server will go public and provide Rosetta's Abinitio and Homology modelling capabilities to the scientific community (and to the public). The computation for this will be conducted on BOINC meaning that you guys will be crunching protein structure prediction jobs for real scientific studies conducted by researchers all over the world!


Thanks again everyone for crunching, we wouldn't be able to do this stuff without you !
