DNA Wiki

This project is an interconnected community effort to explore, discuss and compile anything and everything about genetics and its implications for biology and society — with an emphasis on making it accessible for everyone. This entire site is maintained by the people who use it: anyone can edit this website!

If you're new, check out the DNA Wiki Mission for more details. There are 562 pages in this wiki. Here's five random pages:

Not on Wikipedia

The DNA Wiki strives to become a useful public resource to help people research and learn about many of the intricacies of the field of genetics, and the issues that surround it. Many of the core concepts being described on the DNA Wiki have public-resource counterparts elsewhere, on university websites, governmental pages, and very often, on Wikipedia. Some information on the DNA Wiki may have come from Wikipedia pages, but were brought over here and expanded to fit the mission of this site. However, as we find when we get deep into the details of many subjects, the broad focus of Wikipedia ends up missing out on some of these details, and you will find whole areas of knowledge covered here, but not over there. This page is intended to list pages that do not have counterparts on Wikipedia, and may only receive a passing mention on that site. This can be taken as a measure of how well the DNA Wiki covers its subject area.

Just doing what we can to show how much more we can do with this information under our collective roof!

Getting Started

First, check out the DNA Wiki Start Guide — this is a good place to start!

A Wiki is a linked set of pages that anybody can edit and contribute to without knowing anything about websites. Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Also, check out Why Wiki Works for some information on the philosophy of wiki.

After reading that stuff, and playing around in the Wiki Sand Box, check out our FAQ. We also have a Title Index with a list of all the pages in the wiki.

Feel free to make new pages — just remember to link them. Also, if you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, check out To Do.
