What is it called where you lend your cpu to crunch dna for charity?

[nicholaslovell]

It's like "project something or another."

 

[mcnumpty23]

do you mean folding at home?

 

[digitaldoc]

Folding at home is actually protein structures, not DNA.

heres a list of similar to folding at home

Nice list, and of note none of them involve DNA structure prediction. Last I heard, DNA is a regularly predictable structure, and not much to predict.

yeah there seem to be plenty online dna structure prediction websites

but without more input from the op its hard to figure out exactly what it is they are looking for

Agreed. Proteins, DNA, mRNA... just number crunching to many of these folks!
