Join us on a journey into the depths of our Galaxy with an animated movie about neutron stars, pulsars, and continuous gravitational waves! This new video was created by Dr. M.A. Papa's research group that deploys the [email protected] gravitational wave searches. It will take you through our Galaxy to a very special type of star: a neutron star.

Although the current focus of our job is on the Homo sapiens genome, in the recent past we also ran some gene expansion experiments on the Vitis vinifera organism. We are still evaluating those results, in collaboration with the Edmund Mach Foundation and the Universitat de València (Spain), also involving some students.
We are pleased to inform you that our article "Vitis OneGenE: A Causality-Based Approach to Generate Gene Networks in Vitis vinifera Sheds Light on the Laccase and Dirigent Gene Families" has been published in Biomolecules as part of the Special Issue Gene Regulatory Networks Controlling Secondary Metabolism in Plants: Computational Approaches and Mechanistic Insights and is available online: https://www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/11/12/1744
Thank you all for your invaluable contribution!

Dear community. New release of CmDock was prepared. The v0.1.4 of CmDock incorporates fixed checkpointing and progress bar patch along with support for compressed input and output via cmzip. New CmDock release also includes an Updated SDF-Tools submodule that should help the userbase manipulate input/output files with support for large molecular libraries.
Along with the new release, BOINC client is up to date also. The team is working hard and we are committed to support CmDock in the future. Thank You!

I just added support for Intel GPUs. There are 2 versions - 64 bit linux and 64 bit windows, both require openCL 1.1 or higher.
I don't have an Intel GPU, so I can't test them. But it's the same openCL code that works on other GPUs, so in theory they should work. For the linux version, it was just a matter of downloading the Intel openCL SDK and then linking against Intel's include files and libraries. For the windows version, I cross compiled using mingw64 as I do with AMD/Nvidia cards.
Since they are new and untested, I made them beta apps.

Hey Everyone,
I'm going to take down the server at 3PM EDT tomorrow. The outage should only be a couple hours at most.

All,
We're going to be testing some new backend server updates again this weekend. Last time this lead to some instability, but we've learned quite a bit from that and have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again, with an easy and quick revert path if necessary. There may be some small interruptions, but nothing serious,. There is also nothing you need to do on the client side, this is all on the backend.
Wish us luck, and we'll be watching the results like a hawk for any new issues.

Dear participants,
We have a new target which resides at a novel allosteric site on SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The site was identified by MixMD method [1] with collaboration at College of Pharmacy, University of Michigan. Target preparation was helped by Jelena Tošović (Slovenia).
The two upcoming targets and results will complement the allosteric sites identified with X-ray screening by Sebastian Günther et al. [2]. The targets have good chances for wet-lab testing as soon as possible and further experimental support.
(We will again temporarily pause processing of Target 5)
With best wishes,
Team [email protected]

I have modified [email protected] to use SSL. As a result, the project URL has changed from http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs to https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs. If you see problems as a result of this change, you may need to remove then reattach the project. Old http links will continue to work.

Overnight Nov 8 to 9 we'll be performing some brief preventative network maintenance. The server and site will be inaccessible for an hour or two, but shouldn't last longer than that. No action is required by the end user, and we'll be back soon!
