Just a ping to state that the project is alive and running.
The last year I was way too optimistic in forecasting that a big new experiment would have started soon. I was wrong, in the last months just a handful of workunits were distributed. Anyway, even in this strange and hot summer, the scientists are working, and the project is making progress, although we cannot say when new job will be available.
BTW, if you want to check something we did recently, although still in beta stage, just go to https://onegene-causality-weaver.disi.unitn.it/

While there is no work coming, the app sits quietly on my project list doing nothing and COSTING ME NOTHING! Don't worry, when work comes it comes, when it doesn't it doesn't. Serious BOINCers understand this, it is how it has always been.

Thank you for update and good luck with experiments!

Hope all of you got a great vacation and work in progress had a great result.

Instead of of ask when work is available i would take time and ask if goal will remain or change with new experiment?

What is the next goal?

The next big goal, from the computational point of view, would be to find a way to re-arrange the really big single cell RNA datasets we are playing with in order to make them compatible with our casual discovery algorithm. It's not that easy...

>>> re-arrange the really big single cell RNA datasets

Obviously, it is impossible to assist with this exercise without knowing a lot more about the scope. Good luck with the job.

Hi, i see few tasks in progress.

Could you please provide more info about science part of this, maybe update the http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/gene_science.php page ?

Thank you!

Well, it's just a single expansion of a FANTOM related gene network (about 700 workunits). As requested by the scientist... No news about future big experiments.

Actually no it is not good news... Another month has passed

If the project does not actually work to create science and all that the Project puts out is reworked papers from prior years then volunteers and supporters will ask "but what have you done lately ?"

Excuses don't have the same value as Action they are only words.

Please attempt to regain some credibility for the Project and your Institution and your Team and get an Application released and working to generate Scientific results.

The role of scientists is to "do science". Some research benefits from massively parallel calculation, some does not. The project here, makes massively parallel calculation available, when it is needed. Ensuring there is enough work to keep the project here in work units is not good science. BOINC is a resource, not an end.

Valid point of view and perspective. The BOINC resource is flexible and can and should move to where the current science work and need is.

Thank you
