This page or section needs to be edited. Please help by editing this page to add your revisions or additions.
EcoliWiki, a component of EcoliHub, is a wiki-based system for finding, editing, and adding information about E. coli K-12 and other model organism strains of E. coli. EcoliWiki is being constructed to include information about bacteriophage, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements.
Purpose & Aims
Content
Most of the E. coli information was initially seeded with a subset of information from parsing EcoCyc data dumps. For phage λ and the F plasmid, Genbank accessions were converted to GFF, which was parsed into the appropriate tables. Other sources of content include:
- user additions
- monthly addition of annotations from EcoCyc
- structural data from the PDB
- domains and motif information from InterPro
- various databases including EcoGene, RegulonDB, Genbank, GenoBase, ASAP
- many many scientific papers
Statistics
Ecoliwiki is run off of Mediawiki version 1.43.11 and currently has 167,294 pages. You can view other statistics on Special:Statistics.
Web Services/API
EcoliWiki provides REST web services as part of the EcoliHub Web Services infrastructure project (See: EcoliHub Workbench).
- keyword - currently searches based on a single keyword
- gene - prototype to extract gene details from the wiki
- is_edited - shows numbers of human revisions to EcoliWiki pages.
