Welcome to ScienceWikis
Share Your Knowledge, Advance Our Science.

ScienceWikis is a catalog of biological knowledge wikis, aiming to exploit the full potential of wiki technology in life sciences.

Purpose & Aims

  • Build biological knowledge wikis, such as, wiki-based gene annotation system.
  • Develop wiki extensions to facilitate biological content creation and editing, data visualization, exchange and sharing.
  • Measure users' contributions, give explicit authorship, and provide a standard practice for rewarding users' contributions in bio-wikis.

Ongoing sub-projects

Biological knowledge wikis

  • RiceWiki: a wiki-based gene annotation system for rice.
  • WikiCell: a portal for a unified view of the human transcriptome.
  • ESND (under construction): a wiki-based English-to-Chinese Scientific Nomenclature Dictionary.
  • iBio (under construction): my biology + my biography, personal biographical wiki for biological researchers, archiving e-books and personal scientific collections.

Wiki extensions

Develop wiki extensions to facilitate biological content creation and editing, data visualization, exchange and sharing through a variety of e-utility methods.

  • ScienceReward: measure users' contributions, give explicit authorship, and provide a standard practice for rewarding users' contributions in bio-wikis.
  • LiMi: literature mining in aid of gene annotation in biological knowledge wikis.
  • ColSeq: color molecular sequence according to sequence features.

Funding

ScienceWikis is supported by the “100-Talent Program” of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Y1SLXb1365).
