What's up and coming for EcoliWiki v2

• Searching for information present in the tables specifically
• If I search for multiple genes in EcoliWiki, it would be nice for the output to be given in some delimited form.

What we would like to see?

• Search and type greek and non-English characters or some toolbar for it (lambda vs. the symbol, delta, sigma, etc.)
• Search for phenotype and output is a list of genes
• References- Pubmed Central IDs (for things w/o PMIDs)
• A "Go To" alphabet to organize the category pages
• RNAs in W3110
  • links to RFAM
  • pulldown menus for RNAs in Gbrowse
• synthetic lethal databaseSmrlab
• interactome data baseSmrlab-Butland, Mori, other studies you had in mind
• Have the "edit toolbar" visible when editing tables
• Info on or list of compounds that can be taken up by coli e.g. cAMP?
• Make TMHMM predictions and put that information on the gene products page
• Make TMHMM available to users on this site
• Promoter prediction tools

Done

• List of Essential genes
• CGSC Strain list - we don't have plans to enter all the strains, but we now have all the mutant alleles from CGSC in the allele tables, along with links to CGSC.
• References- Automatic DOI's for all PMID articles. DOI's are available from PubMed/MEDLINE and hopefully can be automatically imported when the article abstract is imported. Prepending "http://dx.doi.org/" to a DOI gives a URL that takes the user directly to the journal's version of the online article. See, e.g, the Links section of the table on the PMID:17244358 page.
  • DOI links will be created on all new PMID pages.
• Video clip upload
  • Not exactly upload, but you can upload to YouTube or Google Video and embed the videos here.
