[Bitesize Bio] Taming the Data Stampede with Wikis: Well, the creation and use of Wikis can help scientists to lasso the stampede of new genomic and proteomic data and corral it into useful knowledge rather than just random facts and figures running wild on the open frontier of the Internet.

[BioInform Current Issue] Wiki-Based Annotation Takes Off in 2008, But Some Say Data-Mining ...: In his Briefings in Bioinformatics paper, Arita noted that wiki-based websites are a poor substitute for structured databases because they lack a mechanism to check data consistency. “As long as wiki is used as a weblog or encyclopedia, this independency is more than natural: authors take the responsibility for the contents, and they should not be changed automatically by other contents,”

[business|bytes|genes|molecules] Rethinking Wikipedia : business|bytes|genes|molecules: For example, if your problem domain has significantly different technical requirements than Wikipedia (which chemistry most certainly does), you'll be constantly fighting to get Wikipedia to do what you need it to do. You may also end up with a large and growing list of things you'd like to do, but which reliance on Wikipedia makes much more costly than it would be otherwise.

[BioInform Current Issue] Researchers Develop Software to Jump-Start ”˜Long Tail’ Gene ...: Synonym identifiers are listed on the right hand side of the page below a diagram from the Protein Data Bank, structured gene annotation, links to primary databases on this gene, and citations for relevant publications.

[nodalpoint.org blogs] Call for a gene function wiki | nodalpoint.org: An alternative is community annotation as was done for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Divide the work between expert researchers and rank annotations as certain (experimental evidence), very likely (strong computational evidence), possible (weak computational evidence) and unknown (no evidence at all).

[BioData Mining - Latest articles] BioData Mining | Full text | Search extension transforms Wiki into ...: Mons B, Ashburner M, Chichester C, van Mulligen E, Weeber M, den Dunnen J, van Ommen GJ, Musen M, Cockerill M, Hermjakob H, Mons A, Packer A, Pacheco R, Lewis S, Berkeley A, Melton W, Barris N, Wales J, Meijssen G, Moeller E, Roes PJ, Borner K, Bairoch A: Calling on a million minds for community annotation in WikiProteins.

[The Hyphal Tip] Wikis for genome (re)annotation: These are all nice things, but setting up a wiki with downloadable data is not the same as a wiki for annotation of a genome. I don’t want users to have to be experts in informatics to be able to make an improvement to the gene set.

[blog.mediafetcher.com whats new] BST1 images,BST1 photos,BST1 videos,BST1 news: BST1 expression is enhanced in bone marrow stromal cell lines derived from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The polyclonal B-cell abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis may be, at least in part, attributed to BST1 overexpression in the stromal cell population.

[The OpenHelix Blog] Gene Wiki? | The OpenHelix Blog: Moreover, the structured and typed data in gene portals is amenable to incorporation into pipelines and systematic analyses in  a way the information in a gene wiki cannot [22]. Most importantly, because articles are dynamic and not subject to rigorous peer review, the gene wiki is not intended to be a reference that is cited in a traditional peer-reviewed article or used exclusively as a source of gene annotation.

[business|bytes|genes|molecules] The Genes Wiki project : business|bytes|genes|molecules: The stubs will have some minimal amount of structured content - links to important databases, GO annotations, PDB structures, etc. It’s our hope/expectation that these stubs will then seed contributions from experts in the field, specifically the “free-text” and unstructured sort of knowledge for which there really isn’t a great resource available.

[BioInform Current Issue] Second-Generation Sequencing Stayed In The Bioinformatics Driver’s ...: Illumina launched an updated version of its analysis software for the Genome Analyzer, called GenomeStudio, which replaces the company’s BeadStudio data-analysis software. In addition to existing tools that analyze data from both the BeadArray and sequencing platforms, it contains two new modules for sequencing-based applications and algorithms for detecting copy number variation, SNP calling, and data visualization.
