I'm not so sure now, that's a very good point, but understanding the genome could help us with hundreds of diseases, including cancer. I've already voted genome but now that I think about it more cancer is a very strong argument for it, and you are definitely right about not forgeting the present.

Meh. I voted genome too, but I would change my vote if I could.

When you say 'genome' what exactly is being discussed? The HGMP is pretty much complete ... so I assume something else is being discussed?

The specific project I am talking about is the project to find new protein strings in order to fully understand the process of creating these strings, what they do, and most importantly, why they do it, so that, if you will pardon the comparison, humans can "learn" the language of protein strings as they would a programming language.
Correct me if I am wrong.

So, which one? Genome? (since it's the most popular)

Meh, I suppose so. I'm probably still gonna do a daily rotation between cancer research+genome, as I can't decide which one to do, not that my contribution would be huge anyway.

I guess I need to ask a friend of mine (Molecular Biologist, worked at Cambridge partly at the Sanger Centre, now at a spin-off company from UCL looking at exactly this type of area, ie. determining how different compounds interact with active sites on proteins, protein folding, etc., it's interesting stuff, no really, it is!)

*bump*
C'mon ppl, I've designed 2 genes already even on my vanilla machine...Someone wanna register a team?

What's the link to the program for the Geonome project? I used to have it on my old PC but tis unfindable at this moment.

I tried to get the app, but it told me my PC wasn't good enough. Actually I was going to join the sitepoint team (only while this one was sorted of course

) Did those in the UK watch the prog with Prof Winston the other day, I missed it

, but he's one of the best when it comes to genes, genomes et al.
