Su (2) (1) Biotechnology Center, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany (2) Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California (US) The goal of the Gene Wiki project is to create a continuously-updated, collaboratively-written, and communityreviewed review article for every gene in the human genome. The Gene Wiki currently takes the form of ~10,000 Wikipedia articles, each describing one human gene. It receives over four million page views and one thousand edits per month. Having attained a sizeable and growing volume of content, one major area of emphasis is improving the computability of this resource. Herein, we will describe a variety of strategies for mining, verifying, and sharing new gene annotations from the community-generated content of the Gene Wiki.
