Storage problem (again)
As all of you already know we are constantly struggling with our problematic storage. The University have bought a new one and they planned the moving procedure. The HPC cluster should be moved this Monday (March, 6th), the other resources will follow.
I will reasonably shut down the server when needed, I will tell you when as soon as I know the date. Meanwhile the work generator will be active just a few hours a day, so very few workunits will be available.
Thank you all for your understanding and patience. 2 Mar 2023, 10:00:42 UTC · Comment

Paper published on Biomolecules
Although the current focus of our job is on the Homo sapiens genome, in the recent past we also ran some gene expansion experiments on the Vitis vinifera organism. We are still evaluating those results, in collaboration with the Edmund Mach Foundation and the Universitat de València (Spain), also involving some students.

We are pleased to inform you that our article "Vitis OneGenE: A Causality-Based Approach to Generate Gene Networks in Vitis vinifera Sheds Light on the Laccase and Dirigent Gene Families" has been published in Biomolecules as part of the Special Issue Gene Regulatory Networks Controlling Secondary Metabolism in Plants: Computational Approaches and Mechanistic Insights and is available online: https://www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/11/12/1744

Thank you all for your invaluable contribution! 23 Nov 2021, 18:42:01 UTC · Comment

Storage problem
The University's storage system (that we heavily use) is having big performance issues thus everything is painfully slow. I stopped the work generator, which actually was not working because of this. No new tasks will be generated until the assimilator will be able to move the finished results to the proper place. There is nothing else to do but wait until the problem will be solved, no ETA, unfortunately. 14 Oct 2021, 11:35:54 UTC · Comment

World Gene Expansion Challenge 2021
The volunteers belonging to the BOINC.Italy group have organized the usual (end of winter) challenge on this project: Start: 8th March 2021 12:00 UTC, End : 15th March 2021 12:00 UTC.
