to people in Ethiopia. The project hopes to generate 1.5 million clicks by
June 22, 2005, to donate a total of €150,000 to WaterAid.
- new active Art project:
( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-art.html#elecle ) elecle (a Japanese
BOINC-based project for the "cell computing Birth" project) renders
animations for the short animated movie "Erecl nico."
- new active Life Sciences project:
( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap...html#boleroplus ) BOLERO+
(a Japanese BOINC-based project for the "cell computing Birth" project) is
attempting to create a new antibiotic for humans based on an anti-fungoid
peptide which is in the genome of all living things
- new active Life Sciences project:
( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap...es.html#chronos ) CHRONOS (a
Japanese BOINC-based project for the "cell computing Birth" project) is
attempting to discover the relationships between the 24 chromosomes of the
human genome. An understanding of these relationships will help scientists
to better understand and prevent genetic diseases, including cancer and
diabetes.
