Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
There are 2 workflows for this project:
- 'Virus Picker' - in this workflow we ask you to click on the viruses in the image.
- 'Virus Classifier' - in this workflow we ask you to identify the virus type by looking at it's characteristics (shape and size).

About Science Scribbler: Virus Factory
In this project, we need you to help us analyse images from the inside of a cell that has been infected with a virus. This will help improve our understanding of how viruses can hijack their host cell's internal machinery to form 'factories' where they replicate.
Your efforts will also help us improve automated data analysis techniques, which will help our team and other researchers do more science faster!
This work is a collaboration between Diamond Light Source and the Division of Structural Biology at the University of Oxford with generous funding from the Wellcome Trust.
