The E. coli Wiki

About Welcome to EcoliWiki, EcoliHub's subsystem for community annotation. As of this writing, content is pretty close to nonexistent, but we're just getting started on populating the wiki. Watch the Current_events and Recent Changes pages to follow our progress and for news about the wiki. Our goal for EcoliWiki is to generate community-based pages about everything related to E. coli K-12, its phages, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements. Yes, we mean everything...in the long run. We will be building as the project proceeds.

News Wikis as tools for genome annotation got some attention in the literature recently: Genome Biology Opinion Piece Nature coverage of WikiProfessional Other news Gene and Product Pages: We've added pages for genes and gene products based on data from Riley et al. (2006) and EcoCyc 10.5. To see the pages for your favorite gene, type the gene name in the search box located in the leftmost column.
