We are pleased to announce that Summer RosettaCon will be held at Suncadia Resort in Washington from August 5 - 9, 2024. The conference will start on the late afternoon (4-5 pm) of Monday, and will finish on Friday morning after breakfast with the usual hike / activity day. Pre-RosettaCon will not take place as a separate meeting as the technical talks, discussions and tutorials will be incorporated into the program. 

REGISTRATION

Registration fees support conference sustainability; this fee is non-refundable and is one mechanism to reduce last minute cancellations and preserve our community resources. Note that the early registration deadline is June 15, 2024. Registrations after this date will incur a higher registration fee. 


Please register at www.rosettacon.org. For the first time, all registrations will go through the same interface. 


If you need a letter of invitation to apply for a U.S. visa, complete this form. 


AIRFARE

Each attendee is responsible for booking and paying for their own airfare. Inquire about reimbursements with your PI and your home institution. We suggest you book your airfare as soon as possible to avoid price hikes.


TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SUNCADIA

Transportation will be provided via a third-party Shuttle service for which you can get your ticket here. Shuttles will run on a schedule on Aug 5th and 9th. The deadline for signing up for your shuttle is July 22. Since Butler is a third-party provider that requires planning of vehicles, they won't be able to accommodate late or same-day registrations, so please plan ahead. You can also drive your own car or rent a car to drive up to Suncadia. Rosetta Commons will not reimburse for these expenses. 


ACCOMMODATIONS

Rosetta Commons is covering the cost of accommodations for Rosetta Commons member labs. Please indicate on the registration form if you need accommodation and for which days. 


CONFERENCE SUPPORT FUND

Rosetta Commons has increased the number of travel grants to 30 (more than ever before) to provide needs-based travel support. Personnel from recently established labs, international labs outside of the US, labs experiencing limited funding, and individuals without access to external grant-supported travel through their labs are highly encouraged to apply here. The deadline to apply for conference support is June 10 but we encourage you to apply early. 


The first round of awards will be announced by May 15 and the second round by June 15 to allow awardees to book their flights in time. Awardees will be invited to book their travel through Navan, so if you are applying for the award, please wait to book your travel arrangements until awardees have been announced. 


CONFERENCE UPDATES

To allow external attendees to see all information that Rosetta Commons members have access to, we're moving away from the Wiki for announcements. When you register for Rosetta Con, you will be asked to create an account on the website, where all information will be available to you. This link is provided in your registration confirmation email.


You can find further information here. 

If you have any questions, you can email info@rosettacon.org.


Sincerely, the organizers

  Gaurav Bhardwaj - University of Washington

  Julia Koehler Leman – Open Molecular Software Foundation 

  Camille Mathis – Johns Hopkins University

Introducing Rosetta Commons Foundation and Levitate Bio

Dear members of the Rosetta Community, The Rosetta Commons Board is excited to announce a significant milestone in the evolution of our community and a step on our path toward the Future of Rosetta. We have created a non-profit organization, the Rosetta Commons Foundation, which has established a wholly-owned subsidiary company called Levitate Bio. Levitate Bio provides cloud-based automated protein modeling and design protocols using AI & Rosetta, available through annual subscriptions. With a mission similar to the Rosetta Commons, the Rosetta Commons Foundation aims to foster a collaborative community that contributes to knowledge and tools for computational modeling and design of biological macromolecules. Appointed by the Rosetta Commons Board, the Foundation’s initial Board currently consists of Jeff Gray, Julia Koehler Leman, and David Nannemann. We expect this leadership structure to evolve soon, with a more permanent Board structure announced in due course. What is unique...

Announcing the winners of the Winter Protein Design Games 2024: Unleashing Innovation in Enzyme Engineering

Image
The Winter RosettaCon organizers want to thank Liberum Bio for sponsoring the experimental validation of the designs that they carried out in 8 days starting from digital sequences! Liberum Bio produces proteins at high yields in cell-free systems at a fraction of the usual cost and time via highly engineered strains and state-of-the art reaction mixtures. At Winter RosettaCon 2024 in Boston, the Rosetta Commons in partnership with Liberum Biotech hosted the inaugural Winter Protein Design Games , focusing on the design of Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease variants. TEV protease is commonly used as a tool for sequence-specific protein cleavage, facilitating the purification of proteins without affinity tags. The competition challenged cross-institutional participating teams to engineer TEV proteases that exhibited enhanced substrate cleavage efficiency over the wild-type enzyme.  The competition was straightforward: design TEV protease variants that outperform the wild type in cl...

Announcing Rosetta's Transition to a Public Repository (including Licensing Changes)

Dear Rosetta Community and users of Rosetta, We're excited to announce that we have moved the Rosetta code repository to a public repository! We have made this move to honor our longstanding philosophy of sharing our work publicly and making it broadly accessible to scientists. This change marks a new chapter for Rosetta, where future developments will be more collaborative and accessible.  This move required crucial changes to our workflow and licensing terms that are designed to streamline contributions to our platform. The new repository is accessible at https://github.com/RosettaCommons/rosetta . Licensing adjustments: The repository's public status means that non-commercial users no longer need to explicitly sign up for a license to access Rosetta. However, despite being publicly accessible, Rosetta is not open source; redistribution restrictions and other licensing restrictions remain in place for all users. For our commercial users, the existing license will continue as...
