Wikiomics:List of articles

This is the list of the most important articles of this wiki. If you create an article in this wiki, just insert a link on this page. Not all articles need to be listed here, just do what feels right. There is also a space for wanted articles. Also, see Special:Categories for all the categories which are used to tag articles, and Special:Allpages for all the pages.

Wikiforum: open questions and wanted articles

Ask questions and build solutions collaboratively at our wikiforum. It is like a forum where threads would eventually evolve into clean tutorials: anyone can ask questions about bioinformatics. Just create a page where your specific question is asked. Once satisfying answers are given, the page can be moved to the list of articles above.

Tip: you can get an email notification when a question is being answered, but you have to register:

1. create an account or log in,
2. confirm your email address in your preferences,
3. watch the pages that interest you.
