    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 BioInfoBank Meta Server offers a gateway to well-benchmarked protein structure and function prediction methods. Structural models collected from the prediction servers are assessed using the powerful 3D-jury consensus approach.

  • boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space
  • instrument developed by scientists at the University of Calgary
  • 73 miles (118 kilometers) above Earth's surface
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • astronauts can say they've been to space after only passing the 50-mile (80-kilometer) mark
  • space industry is also a somewhat arbitrary 62 miles (100 kilometers)
  • United States, however, has never officially adopted a set boundary standard
  • overflight rights of satellites and other orbiting bodies
  • NASA's mission control uses 76 miles (122 kilometers) as their re-entry altitude
  • shuttle switches from steering with thrusters to maneuvering with air surfaces
  • 13 million miles (21 million kilometers)
  • the boundary where Earth's gravity is no longer dominant
  • Supra-Thermal Ion Imager
  • tracking the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space
  • difficult to make measurements in this region, which is too high for balloons and too low for satellites
  • second time that direct measurements of charged particle flows have been made in this region
  • first time all the ingredients – such as the upper atmospheric winds – have been included
  • David Knudsen of the University of Calgary
  • carried by the JOULE-II rocket on Jan. 19, 2007
  • an altitude of about 124 miles (200 kilometers) above sea level and collected data for the five minutes it was moving through the "edge of space."
  • Journal of Geophysical Research on April 7
  • space weather and its impacts on Earth
  • calculate energy flows into the Earth's atmosphere that ultimately may be able to help us understand the interaction between space and our environment
  • link between sunspots and the warming and cooling of the Earth's climate
  • how space weather impacts satellites, communications, navigation, and power systems
