We continue our work on characterizing lung cancer biomarkers identified in the MCM1 project. This update focuses on ADH6, a gene associated with smoking status and lung cancer prognosis.
World Community Grid is a volunteer computing project where people can donate their computer's spare computational power to science (similar to folding@home). This week they announced some results of their research and having passed the 800,000 CPU-year mark which is pretty incredible.
Previous discoveries from WCG have included new cancer markers for lung cancer, new candidates for high-efficiency materials for solar panels, and more.
