Welcome to the Gene Wiki portal. This portal is dedicated to the goal of applying community intelligence to the annotation of gene and protein function. The Gene Wiki is an informal collection of pages on human genes and proteins, and this effort to develop these pages is tightly coordinated with the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject. Our specific aims are summarized as follows: * To provide a well written and informative Wikipedia article for every notable human gene * To invite participation by interested lay editors, students, professionals, and academics from around the world * To integrate Gene Wiki articles with existing Wikipedia content through the use of internal wiki links increasing the value of both Please browse around the Gene Wiki, make an edit to your favorite gene page, and feel free to ask questions!

The establishment of open access literature makes it possible for knowledge to be extracted from scholarly articles and included in other resources. BioLit aims to extract database identifiers and rich meta-data from open access articles in the life sciences and integrate that information with existing biological databases. We have begun prototyping this effort using a clone of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, a database of macromolecular structures.

The AAAS Science and Human Rights Coalition is a network of scientific organizations that recognizes a role for science and scientists in efforts to realize human rights. Composed of scientific associations, societies and academies, as well as individual scientists, the Coalition aims to facilitate communication and partnerships on human rights within and across scientific communities, and between these and human rights communities. The Coalition's programs are being carried out by the following five working groups: 1. Welfare of Scientists 2. Science Ethics and Human Rights 3. Service to the Scientific Community 4. Service to the Human Rights Community 5. Education and Information Resources The Coalition is also pursuing a joint initiative to realize the human right to "the benefits of scientific progress" (Article 15, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights).
