DeepMind will fund CASP for a year. Very nice to hear. (not paying Stat $30 a month, but you can read the first bit). www.statnews.com/2025/07/21/c...

Speak up to prevent a major loss for the field. CASP, which helped shaping structural biology including AlphaFold is on the verge of shutting down. NIH funding has lapsed, UC Davis support ends and the core team is being let go. Painfully shortsighted.

We will be hosting a mirror site of the CASP data and workflows at @sib.swiss. Operating a redundant site with independent funding is a good idea for important scientific infrastructure, independent from the current funding situation in the US.
