Wikiomics is an open documentation initiative in the field of bioinformatics and systems biology.
Wikiomics consists in a free space for storing and sharing information that joins together practical and theoretical aspects of bioinformatics. Anyone can initiate or modify an article at Wikiomics and use it as a collection of notes, links and papers on a specific problem. Page history and email notification make it easy to track changes made by other users of this wiki.
Each article of Wikiomics is a dynamic, easy-to-maintain review which would eventually provide:
- brief explanations of strategies and methods, possibly with figures and math formulas
- links to relevant bioinformatics services and software distributors
- links to PubMed abstracts, thanks to a built-in citation manager
So make yourself at home at http://wikiomics.org And have fun!

Competition
Ah, a competitor :)
Seriously, best of luck and the more, the merrier. Also, was it a blog link off Nodal that led me to Biocrawler, the biology wiki? Good site with a very Wikipedia look to it, because (in case you hadn't realised), the software behind Wikipedia is MediaWiki and it's free and GPL'd. Our Nodal Wiki runs under DokuWiki, also very good.
This could be a "my favourite wiki software" thread before long.
Wiki wikis
I am sorry I haven't replied earlier, I know it's rude. Actually the original poster wasn't me, but she told me about this post so I have no excuse.
Anyway, it's okay if several wikis exist, as long as they are able to communicate, right? I added an intermap/interwiki shortcut at Wikiomics so that a link like [[Nodalpoint:manatee_hacks]] works.
Feel free to add suggestions for Wikiomics' intermap. We are also trying to maintain a list of bioinformatics wikis and related stuff.
