Google has just done this with AlphaFold a few minutes ago:

It's just so fresh it hasn't been posted anywhere yet:
"Normally we’d wait to publish this work until it had been peer-reviewed for an academic journal. However, given the potential seriousness and time-sensitivity of the situation, we’re releasing the predicted structures as we have them now, under an open license so that anyone can make use of them."
- georgeam 7y agoKudos to Google for doing this. It is so much more effective to marshall a small number of extremely powerful cloud providers backed by very qualified and active techies, than a large number of weak providers (people using their home machines).
- beojan 7y agoNot quite, Google are running their own code.
- kossTKR 7y agoI agree that the wording could have been be better. "This" here referring to the link after the :, not the folding@home project. I wonder how AlphaFold compares.
- forgot-my-pw 7y agoThat's very newsworthy. Hope the prediction system is accurate enough to help.
