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.
In service
- RiceWiki: a wiki-based community resource for Oryza sativa.
- WikiCell: a portal for a unified view of the human transcriptome.
- ESND: a wiki-based English-to-Chinese Scientific Nomenclature Dictionary.
Under construction
- FishWiki: a wiki-based community resource for carp.
- PigWiki: a wiki-based community resource for pig.
- DateWiki: a wiki-based community resource for date palm.
- VirusWiki: a wiki-based community resource for virus.
- iBio: my biology + my biography, a personal biographical wiki for researchers, archiving 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.
