We are waiting for all the recently distributed workunits to come back (just one missing by now) before taking some time to analyze the results and planning new work distribution. We are still in the validation/testing phase of the algorithm we developed, we have obviously to check it thoroughly before going into the production phase. In the meantime we are writing a scientific paper describing it and this also takes some time. However, expect some more news at the beginning of the next week. Thanks all again for your help.

All the 'experiments' we made in the past were focused on applying our gene-expansion algorithm to a small, common plant called Arabidopsis Thaliana, which is commonly used as a model organism in the biological community. At our last meeting we decided to further test the algorithm on a different specie, namely a bacterium called Escherichia Coli, also a model organism in life science research. We are setting up the system in order to start new work distribution.
