Hi everyone,

This morning I decided to join for the first time the **TN-Grid** project, where I discovered that the **Gridcoin Team** is the major contributor of the project (five times more points compared to the second entry in the top). 

**TN-Grid** is a research project in genetics, hosted by the University of Trento, in Italy.

The project is using an application (**gene@home**) that is building a network of casual relationships between every two gens. The algorithm finds a gene network and studies its causal relationships, in order to estimate if a list of new genes can have a causal relationship with already known genes.

Two applications are currently running on the **TN-Grid** project: Vitis vinifera (OneGenE), studying the biology of grapevine, and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (OneGenE), studying the genetics of the multidrug resistant bacterium.

Since morning, I already received 27 work units. Out of those, ten are already completed, while two got also validated. What I can see so far, each work units takes approximately 3.5 hours of CPU time (on a i5-3350P CPU @ 3.10GHz, running Ubuntu), and is giving out 165 credit points. 

I'm just curious, is anybody else experimenting, these days, with **TN-Grid**? If yes, what is your experience?
