"The Human Genome Project is nearing completion, and scientists are working hard to develop the understanding needed to use this wealth of genetic information in ways that will be significant to medicine and humankind. One of the most important ways to do this is to study the other genomes and individual gene sequences that are already available to us. By understanding how these genomes work, we will be able to put the huge amounts of data (over 50,000 genes and 3 billion nucleotide base pairs) from the Human Genome Project into biological and medical context, giving it real meaning."

The Genome Collective is a top team to join when crunching for Genome@home,

Ever wanted to work for NASA? Now is your chance! "Welcome to the clickworkers study, NASA Ames's new experiment in volunteer science. There are many scientific tasks that require human perception and common sense, but may not require a lot of scientific training. Identifying craters on Mars is something almost anyone can do, and classifying them by age is only a little harder."

Link of the Month November/December 2000, introduced as: Golem@home, a distributed computing project about the evolution of machines. They will feel right @home on your computer as long as you feed them spare cycles. Help them evolve and maybe someday their offspring will grow up to be planetary explorers.

"The field of Artificial Life examines 'life as it could be' based on understanding the principles and simulating the mechanisms of real biological forms. Just as airplanes use the same principles as birds, but have fixed wings, artificial lifeforms may share the same principles, but not the same implementation in chemistry. Every feature of living systems seems wondrous until it is understood: Stored energy, autonomous movement, and even animal communication are no longer miracles, as they are replicated in toys using batteries, motors, and computer chips."

Link of the Month October 2000, introduced as: Folding@home, a distributed computing project adding a touch of chemistry to the @home formula.

Did you know the people behind SETI@home actually do have a life besides the project? It may be hard to believe at times, but it is true. Check for yourself and discover that Matt is a rather busy (human)bee(ing).
