Community computing platforms democratized participation and expanded bioinformatics research’s reach. Platforms like BOINC [49] enabled broad participation in bioinformatics. Experts can submit computing tasks to BOINC, while non-experts and science enthusiasts can volunteer their computer resources to process these tasks. Several life sciences projects are available through BOINC, including protein-ligand docking, malaria simulations, and protein folding [49].
