Lets help kill Cancer

[JustSomeone]

I got a bit of information from World Community Grid.

One of the projects I was in helped ID 7 new drugs for use in fighting childhood cancers.

They have started a new project to help ID specific cancer markers for more directed treatments.

You can bet your ass I'm on that one.

I'm part of a startup, in the bioinformatics space. This stuff seriously interests me. When they look for markers, are they rolling over the entire genome, or just a small portion? I imagine with distributed computing like this, it'd be nothing to process an entire genome.
