For those of you who are not familiar with Gene Wiki project <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki>, it's by far one of the most mature structured data projects in Wikimedia. The project started first on English Wikipedia (seeding all articles on genes and related topics you can read today) and is now leveraging Wikidata.
The showcase starts in 30 minutes, you can watch it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0Ztv2iF4w or hop on #wikimedia-research on irc.freenode.net for a live discussion, hosted by Jonathan.
