Main Page

= About GeneWiki+ = GeneWiki+ is a mirror of the Gene Wiki project on Wikipedia, running on top of the Semantic Mediawiki framework. Content from Wikipedia is mirrored in near-real time by our server and modified to work with Semantic Mediawiki's special semantic links. This allows you, the user, to ask simple queries that exploit the huge amount information in Wikipedia.

We are also in the process of integrating other open-source databases and ontologies and linking them with Gene Wiki content. We have successfully imported, thus far, the extensive SNP database from SNPedia as well as the Disease Ontology and are in the process of integrating them into existing articles.

Data
http://genewikiplus.org/api.php?action=ask&query=%20is_associated_with::%3Cq%3E%3C/q%3E%20OR%20HasSNP::%3Cq%3E[[is_associated_with::%3Cq%3E%3C/q%3E%20%3C/q%3E]]&format=jsonfm (Paste it into your browser to try it out.)
 * RDF exports and other data files
 * Live API. You can access GW+ content dynamically with the SMW ASK API.  For example, here is a query for the genes related to Cleft lip and Palate with the response formated as JSON.

Software
The software that keeps our articles in sync with Wikipedia is open-source and available here:

You can use it to maintain your own Wikipedia mirror! For problems or help, leave us a message on the talk page.
