Introduction
RiceWiki, a project of IC4R (Information Commmons for Rice) as well as a component of ScienceWikis, is a wiki-based, publicly editable and open-content platform for community curation of genes and Omics Knowledge in rice, viz., a community-curated resource of rice knowledge. Unlike conventional biological databases based on expert curation, RiceWiki harnesses collective intelligence to collect, edit and annotate information about rice, quantifies users' contributions in each annotated gene and provides explicit authorship for each contributor to encourage more participation from the whole scientific community. Welcome to join us !
Nothing great is ever accomplished in isolation. – Yo-Yo Ma

Joining RiceWiki
RiceWiki allows any user to view and search but only registered users to add and edit content. We do hope a wide range of people, including researchers, teachers, students, etc., can join RiceWiki to collaboratively annotate rice genes. Please become a registered user to make contributions and/or spread this news to any one who might be of interest.

About Us
Our group works in the field of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB), applying computer science, mathematics and statistics to practical problems arising from the management and analysis of large-scale biological data. Currently, we are particularly interested in building wiki-based platforms in aid of biological knowledge integration.
