A look back at 2016 with Mark2Cure
Happy New Year! Here’s a review of our activity as a biomedical citizen science project in 2016. New missions available, if you can read, you can help!
Wrapping up 2016 in the Su Lab
There are a LOT of projects going on in the Su Lab--so many, that it's hard to keep track of them all. By now, I've posted year-end summaries for some of the major projects in the lab including: MyGene.info: MyGene.info 2016 Year-end review MyVariant.info: 2016--More...
2016–More incredible for MyVariant.info than MyGene.info
As mentioned in MyGene.info’s year-end review, the team behind both services
have been very productive. In addition to all the work they did on MyGene.info
(and the back-end/BioThings services behind both MyGene.info and MyVariant.info,
they made the following improvements to MyVariant.info this year:
-2016.01.06: ClinVar data structure overhauled

2016 – A busy year for Gene Wiki and WikiData
I knew it! Last year, I struggled with the year-end post for the Gene Wiki/WikiData (AKA the Gene WikiData) project because the Gene WikiData team was incredibly active. I learned my lesson, and attempted to better track their activity earlier this year with a running...
Merry X-mas and Happy Holidays
We just have three quick pieces of news to share:
-
