Some news from dna@home admin:
Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile but I've generated some new work units today, to test how things are going and if we need to make any updates to the application. We have some new data that we're looking forward to analyzing to try and find areas of DNA that might cause cancer in humans (although the data set we'll be working with is from mice).
I'll keep you all posted as we start generating more work, and let me know if there are any problems with the work units that I just sent out.



Hi Everyone,

So I want to try and start unifying the projects to simplify server updates, checking the forums, etc. Before I get going I want a little feedback as to what I'm planning so everyone is okay with it.

Basically, I'm going to create a new project (probably called "Citizen Science Grid") or something along those lines. Unfortunately, because people have different accounts on each project I can't do an automatic merge of the users and databases. So this means you'd have to create a new account on the new project (when the new project starts those will be the only forums for the site).

When the new project is up and going, I'll allow everyone to transfer their credit from their other accounts via a webpage (basically if you're logged in, you can enter in the user name and id of your account on citizen science grid, hit okay and it will transfer the credit over)

Yeap. And you can import credits from "old" single projects
