Related projects

Welcome to the Computational Biology taskforce of WikiProject Molecular Biology.
If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the talkpage of WikiProject Molecular Biology, the centralized point for discussion, thank you.

The Computational Biology taskforce is aimed at improving and organising articles on computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology and related topics. More broadly, the taskforce aims to increase participation of computational biology researchers in English Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, as well as cultivate Wikipedia-related initiatives with academic publishers and learned societies.

Goals

The overall goal of the taskforce is to improve the article quality of Wikipedia articles within the scope. The taskforce will assist this goal by:

Identifying specific areas for improvement within existing articles
Identifying missing topics
Expand and improve entry pages, such as Computational biology
Provide a systematic structure of concepts within computational biology, using categories, templates and navigation-boxes.
Organising articles to provide up-to-date coverage of relevant topics
Potentially implement other quality control mechanisms (e.g. scientific peer review)

Scope

Topics of interest include:

"Classical" bioinformatics (i.e. sequence analysis, phylogenetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, software tools and databases)
Simulation, modelling and analysis of biological systems (as in systems biology) of any scale (molecular structure, gene regulation, metabolism, protein interactions, cell physiology, cell populations, tissue organisation, organ modelling)
Computational neuroscience, computational immunology
Analysis and integration of biological concepts (e.g. in ontologies) and of biological data (e.g. microarray or imaging data)
Important algorithms or techniques widely used in the field ( Next generation sequencing analyses, variant calling, etc.)
Biographies of notable computational biologists
Centers and institutions of global prominence in the field

Tasks

Below is a To-Do list of tasks for the taskforce, if you complete a task or have identified issues the taskforce can help with, you can edit the below template here.

Articles relating to this WikiProject need to be identified. Please add the WikiProject Computational Biology template to relevant articles.

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Systems robustness
Cleanup : Systems Biology Ontology, Flux balance analysis
Expand : Structural bioinformatics
Stubs : BMC Systems Biology, Journal of Computational Biology, Saccharomyces Genome Database, MEGAN
Wikify : List of systems biology research groups
Other : Consolidate Bioinformatics, Computational biology and possibly other disciplines that are listed under computational biology. Currently Bioinformatics lumps in the two term as meaning the same, while Computational biology makes some distinction, which could be expanded and put in a more systematic way.

PLOS topic pages

The Computational Biology taskforce collaborates with the journal PLOS Computational Biology on the Topic Pages initiative.

If you're preparing a topic pages submission and need help or advice from a Wikipedian, reach out to an active member of WikiProject Molecular Biology.

ISCB article competition

Taskforce members organise an annual Wikipedia article competition in association with the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).

The competition, running since 2012, awards students and trainees for the best contributions to computational biology-related articles. Entry is open internationally, to students and trainees of any level. We particularly encourage lecturers or course organisers to use this competition as a class assignment.

The current status of the competition is:

Year	Notice	Entries	Status
10 (2020-21)	10	entries	Open now!

Queries specific to the competition can be addressed to Alastair Kilpatrick or asked on the WikiProject Molecular Biology talk page.

ISMB Editathons

There have been ongoing efforts to run editathons at ISMB and related conferences, to recruit bioinformatics experts to contribute to Wikipedia.
