Re: 'Gene WIki' announced

The Protein Box Bot [1] inserts templates based on the geneid that is
given to it, in particular for that page it inserts a template from
another page [2]. Editing that page customises the output that is seen
in the infobox on that page. It should be relatively simple to take
the pages like [2] and retrieve semantic information from them.

Cheers,

Peter
