I'm posting this message for natalisan, who is currently having
internet connection trouble :-( The decrypthon acts as a sort of
screen saver, to have your computer analyze protein sequences and
expression while it would otherwise be "sleeping" Now that the human
genome has been largely sequenced, the next large challenge in
molecular biology is to understand the functions and
interrelationships of the proteins coded for by the genome.

********

The decrypthon project aims at sequencing the proteome: listing all
the proteins in our living world, in order
to understand better their function, knowing they are the expression
of genes.
Proteins Dysfunction or lack is the cause of disease.
If we can relate a genetic disease to a chromosome mutation,
reseachers don't know yet how it functions.
Proteins are in beetween, comprehending their dysfunction might be a
way to further our knowledge and
to find a cure.

Decrypthon data base is available for the scientific community.
