THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 08, 2013. Wiki serving as a demo for integrating wikis with scientific workflows, extending peer review and open access from formal scholarly publishing to the whole research cycle. Just imagine you could browse science as it happens. It is intended to be launched, as a prototype, in early 2011, and any help with it is welcome just create an account and mention here how you would like to get involved. In the initial phase, the platform will primarily be used to simply archive copies of scholarly articles that were formally published under an Open license. This WikiRepository shall provide a unified front-end to search, discover and sort all these Open Access papers, and to annotate, share, bookmark and discuss them. Later on, it is intended to be complemented by a formal publishing platform, WikiJournal. From the start on, emphasis will be placed on updatability of published research, on placing new research in the context of existing knowledge as well as ongoing and even planned research on the matter, and of the communities concerned.

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

WordPress plugins for Anti-Spam, Metadata, Presentation, URLs, and Workflow from the Code4Lib community, a group of computer programmers and library technologists who largely work for and with libraries. Anti-Spam *Akimset - Filters out spam-link comments based on their content *reCAPTCHA - Requires users to copy a distorted word before they can comment Metadata *COinS Quicktags Button - In the non-WYSIWYG editor, can be used to build a basic COinS tag. This has been abandoned in favor of the generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/. *unAPI Server - Provides information about articles. Useful for Zotero users. Presentation *SyntaxHighlighter - Makes code pretty. *C4LJ Custom the_author()- Replaces the text returned by the_author() with the value of the author custom field. Necessary since articles are entered by their editors, but we want author information to appear on the articles and in the syndication feeds. URLs *C4LJ Remove Parents - A customization of http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-parents/. Prettifies category URLs so that issues appear at http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue1 instead of http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issues/issue1. *FeedBurner FeedSmith - Redirects the main feed and the general comments feed to FeedBurner Workflow *Issue Manager - Enables one-click publishing of new issues, and prevents articles from being published until their associated issue is published. *Role Manager - Allows creation of custom roles and editing of roles' permissions. Used to create the Reviewer role, which can read Private articles, so that authors can see their articles before publication, and to prevent editors from publishing articles on accident.

Full Gene Ontology annotation to genes associated with cardiovascular processes. Every GO annotation made, is attributed to an identified source, such as a publication identifier (PMID), and an indication of the type of evidence which supports the association between the gene product and the GO term. Over 4,000 cardiovascular associated genes have been identified. A variety of tools have been provided to enable cardiovascular scientists to review the annotation of their ''''favorite'''' gene and suggest information that may be missing, inaccurate or incomplete in these annotations. Annotation suggestions can be sent through the feedback form or by email. The Gene Ontology (GO) vocabulary is the established standard for the functional annotation of gene products. By using GO to curate scientific literature and by integrating results from high-quality high-throughput experiments they will create an information-rich resource for the cardiovascular-research community, enabling researchers to rapidly evaluate and interpret existing data and generate hypotheses to guide future research.

Data analysis service that analyzes DNA sequences and determines their most likely phylogenetic origin. Its main use is in metagenomics projects, where DNA is isolated directly from natural environments and sequenced (the organisms from which the DNA originates are often entirely undescribed). It will search such sequences for suitable marker genes, and will use maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the ''''Tree of Life''''. This placement is more reliable than simply assessing the closest relative of a sequence using BLAST. More importantly, MLTreeMap decides not only who is the closest relative of your query sequence, but also how deep in the tree of life it probably branched off. Additionally, MLTreeMap searches the sequences for genes, which are coding for key enzymes of important functional pathways, such as RuBisCo, methane monooxygenase or nitrogenase. In case of a positive hit, MLTreeMap uses maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the respective ''''gene-family tree''''.
