Hello World Community Grid members,
As currently planned, over the course of the project, MCM will proceed in four phases, analyzing a different cancer dataset in each phase. The first (and current) phase is focused on lung cancer. So far, MCM work units have explored the space of lung cancer signatures that are composed of 10-20 genetic markers at a time. We estimate about 350,000,000 work units in total for the project (counting redundancy) -- about 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 work units per cancer. We are delighted by the incredible response to this project. Thank you all for making this project possible with your enthusiasm and your donated CPU cycles. Christian A. Cumbaa Research Associate Ontario Cancer Institute / University Health Network |

Christian, one question I've got, is why haven't you got a MCM badge against your forum name?
----------------------------------------Surely you're supporting your own project...  |
