The Lattice Project

Introduction
The Lattice Project supplies computing power to scientists at the University of Maryland. The volunteered resources are integrated with on-campus Grid Resources, and so no single project or application dominates the landscape. Some projects include: Study of evolutionary relationships based on DNA sequence data; Analysis of bacterial, plasmid, and virus protein sequences; And study of biological diversity in nature reserves.

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"

The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.]
