About TN-Grid

TN-Grid is a platform that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in various scientific projects. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

TN-Grid is based at the Research Area of Trento of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and currently hosted by the University of Trento (UNITN). The first project we host is

gene@home, in collaboration with Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM) and the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) of UNITN.

We would also like to thank the members of the BOINC.Italy community who were very helpful for starting this project.

A mid-summer ping
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/ 30 Jul 2024, 13:36:51 UTC · Comment

New experiment on Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) from Mus musculus
We just started two experiments (gene expansion) on two different datasets (rnaseq, riboseq). There will be a total of about 140k workunits (2x tasks), each one relatively fast, distributed in batches.
If interested please follow the discussion here: https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/forum_thread.php?id=384 13 Feb 2024, 9:56:35 UTC · Comment

Happy New Year!
Just a very brief update: People here are working on submitting papers, analyzing the FANTOM and Vitis vinifera data and so on. A nice Web application to look and play with the results is almost ready. Unfortunately there is yet no ETA on the new experiments to be done here.
Happy New Year to everybody listening! 29 Dec 2023, 15:47:21 UTC · Comment

Summer break
I just put the last Vitis vinifera genes into our queue. With the current pace it will take about a week, maybe less, to distribute them all. The new datasets are not ready yet... Also, I will be on vacation the next two weeks, and it wouldn't be advisable to start a new work without having the possibility to easily oversee the system.
Therefore, in a few days, the work generator will not be able to produce new tasks, only resends will be floating around.
I hope to be able to restart the system with a new project at the beginning of August.

Thank you all! 10 Jul 2023, 16:21:42 UTC · Comment

The Vespucci-2023 Vitis vinifera OneGenE experiment
The Vespucci-2023 Vitis vinifera OneGenE experiment is officially started, for more scientific info about it please look at this thread https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/forum_thread.php?id=370.
Thank you all for your support! 15 May 2023, 17:14:30 UTC · Comment
