The protein folding effort we've been working on has been featured in Science:

They also made a youtube video:

BOINC and Rosetta@home was heavy used for this work, thanks for all the contributions!

Watched the video, it's super accessible to lay people and does a great job of highlighting a huge swath of what Rosetta does and in particular the co-evolution 'shortcut' that you've been working so much on Sergey - big congrats!

Are you using co-evolution predictions in this year's CASP? I remember it being quite successful in CASP11.

I'd be curious to learn if/how there has been any iterative refinement of the methodology since CASP11?

PS - You and David are the most engaged baker lab members on the boards here, thanks for taking the time to post and keep us in the loop. :)

Watched the video and it is amazing to see what has been accomplished in such a short period of time. The potential is unlimited and the vision is glorious. I am excited to see what the future holds!
