Hello, writing an article [1] that stresses the advantages of publicly available annotation data, especially wiki-style approaches, we agree with one of the reviewers, that there is a need to have categories for wiki track entries. Having categories, wiki entries could be marked e. g. as regulation related (TFBS data), as gene related (TSS, ...), or as expression data. Because the list of necessary categories probably will increase in future, maybe even the categories should be open for community changes.
* So, what I would like to propose is to add a category field to the wiki track. Then, researches could manage the wiki entries, even if their number heavily increases. * Additionally, we think, a possibility to extend the list of categories should be given to the community. We appreciate the availability of wiki tracks in the field of open access research very much, and I love the usability of the UCSC genome browser, so I would be glad to contribute a small piece. I hope, that you can take account of our proposals, Thank you and a Happy new year, Stephan Struckmann Universities of Rostock and of Greifswald, Germany [1] Fuellen, Struckmann: "Evolution of gene regulation of pluripotency - the case for wiki tracks at genome browsers" (Pubmed 21190561), Biology Direct 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephan Struckmann IBIMA Universitätsklinikum Rostock [email protected] _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
