Wikiomics.org was the site of the Bioinformatics wiki, created by Martin Jambon in 2005, when he was a postdoc in Adam Godzik's group at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research. Martin came up with this name as a short way of saying "bioinformatics wiki" and we all thought the name was really cool. Since then the original wikiomics content has migrated to and is available at the OpenWetWare project.
The same term was used independently by Mitch Waldrop in his 2008 News Feature in Nature, as a tongue-in-the-cheek way of referring to "science of wikis" in the "-omics" era. If you are interested in reading his commentary, the Nature article is on-line.
Our research group at BIMR develops several websites and wiki-like projects, where we are experimenting with models of knowledge dissemination which go beyond the well-known Wikipedia model and develop a collaborative way of CREATING new knowledge, rather than collecting and reporting existing knowledge.
Our group features various web services such as CutDB, part of the Center for Proteolytic Pathways project. We are particularly proud of our main wiki project, TOPSAN (The Open Protein Structure Annotation Network), developed in July 2006 to annotate structures solved by the Protein Structure Initiative centers and in particular, the JCSG center which we are part of.
This page is a stub, which in the future will host a short summary of available biological wikis. If anybody wants us to list a website, please write to us.
Here is an incomplete list of some projects that we are aware of that may be of interest:
