Dear 1695814,
Closing summary from Microbiome Immunity Project
Dec 17, 2021 - In this message to volunteers, MIP researchers highlight what the acquired data has been and is being used for.Thank you for your support,
The World Community Grid Team
Closing summary from Microbiome Immunity Project :
Dear World Community Grid Volunteers,
We have finished the WCG computation for the Microbiome Immunity Project a few months ago, but the research is still ongoing. The wealth of data that you have helped us to acquire is a real treasure-trove for biological discovery! With over 200,000 high-quality unique protein structures we got an unprecedented glimpse into the microbial protein universe.
What have we discovered so far? Here are some of the highlights that we can already share with you:
• We have discovered over 150 distinct new protein folds within this dataset. Folds are unique protein geometries. Identifying novel ones is difficult as many proteins, even coming from vastly different organisms, share many of the same folds.
• We have discovered new structure-to-function relationships. Through their 3D structures, proteins are the ultimate tools of cells. Their shape enables proteins to execute biological functions, such as transport of ions, binding other molecules, or breaking them down. Because of the large number of new, unique protein structures that we have computed on the WCG, researchers are able for the first time to comprehensively study and understand the relationship between structure and function.
• Using MIP data and deep learning tools, we are able to annotate protein functions in the microbiome. The microbiome is important in health, but how the microbiome impacts our health specifically, remains a mystery. Thanks to your work, we are now able to annotate up to twice as many proteins of the human gut microbiome, so that we are now closer than ever to understanding the mechanisms by which our gut microbiome impacts our health and contributes to, for example, type-1 diabetes.
Stay tuned, as we are getting close to finalizing two research papers describing those findings in more detail.
All the best,
the MIP research team
Go! Go, MIP!!!
F*ck diabetes (both types) too!!! 
I and II, too!

I just joined then group on my personal pc. When I have a moment I might add a couple of servers into the mix.

And remember this: It’s not a competition, but you are currently in last place.
I Know it’s not a competition, I’ll get whatever points I get I guess.
I’ve got my dev looking at installing it on three servers, and I’ve got a fourth sitting cold in my office. I’ve got a fifth sitting behind a VPN, not sure if that will work.
But yeah, not a competition.
Actually I’m curious how the servers perform. They’re not the latest tech, so I wonder how they’ll stack up against a current desktop. It’s possible that they’re not that powerful.

Interesting. I just did some light reading on this. Looks like the server is roughly comparable to a couple of Ryzen 3s or 5s.
I keep wanting to upgrade hardware but my Dev keeps telling me it’s a waste of money. And I guess it is. Still…

1695814 messaged me to tell me that I’m not showing up in the folding @ home stats - I’m not in there. But I am a member of the goactuary team on world community grid - I can see the results, I show as a member, but my results don’t show up in the team stats. Any thoughts on why?

I’m running wcg on my work PC and I installed it on the goactuary forum server (this server). The server really boosted my stats immediately, and it’s hogging quite a bit of cpu on the server. Like, all of it. Normally the server is sitting at almost 100% available cpu, now it’s frequently at 0%. Doesn’t seem to be impacting the forum though which is good (if it does, I can just spin down the amount of CPU that wcg uses). There’s nothing else on this server other than the forum, so no problem on my end. And I pay a flat fee for my server space rental, so there’s no real cost to doing this.
My dev got cranky about installing it on my main webserver. He saw the 100% cpu useage on this server and strongly suggested we not put it on there - even though the main webserver doesn’t have any load either (webpages take zilch to process). So probably won’t spin up an instance there.
Then again, at the same time he chastised me over my choice of passwords as not being secure enough, so maybe he’s just being over cautious.
For those that care, I have four servers in my block:
- goactuary forum server
- my main business webserver, a clone of the GOA server
- a backup server, but it doesn’t have outside internet access so can’t really use that.
- a server we use for client data that also doesn’t have internet access, so can’t (and wouldn’t) use that.
I also have an older spare server sitting in my office I suppose I could spin up. Unfortunately I don’t think I have a spare slot for it in the rack, so probably can’t use it. It’s a bit loud to run at the house. We’ll see, I may play around with it though.
I have 2 old laptops sitting around so I decided to clean them up and join the club.

fyi, that’s what it’s designed to do but at the lowest priority. Well, I assume it’s the same for a server as it is a regular old pc. In taskmgr, you can see that the “priority” is set to “low”, so it will stop processing when anything else needs processing power. There are a number of different ways to fine tune that, but I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader.
