Welcome to ScienceWikis
Contribute your efforts, further our knowledge.

ScienceWikis is a catalog of biological knowledge wikis and wiki extensions, aiming to exploit the full potential of wiki technology to harness community intelligence in knowledge integration and curation.

Purpose & Aims

  • Build professional academic wikis for biological knowledge integration and curation (such as, wiki-based gene annotation system).
  • Measure users' contributions, give explicit authorship and provide a standard practice to reward community-curated efforts in bio-wikis.
  • Provide a central archive of quantitative contributions and citations in different bio-wikis.
  • Develop wiki extensions to facilitate biological content creation and editing, data visualization, exchange and sharing.

Sub-projects

Biological knowledge wikis

Build professional academic wikis for biological knowledge integration.

  • 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.
