[edit] ProteinBoxBot 2
A new version of the bot was created to maintain the Protein Boxes on Gene Wiki pages. It queries information from the MyGene.info gene annotation service (which itself compiles information from public-domain databases) and compares it to the values in the existing article infoboxes. If the article information is out of date, incorrect, or missing, the infobox is updated with the correct values. It then scans the Commons for protein structure images corresponding to the protein box subject. If it finds one, the image is added; if not and sufficient information is available, the bot generates, uploads, and links a new image. This bot does not create pages or edit full-text articles (for the time being). The source code for the bot is available at the GeneWiki code repository. This version is being designed and maintained by Pleiotrope in conjunction with AndrewGNF.
[edit] ProteinBoxBot (old)
This bot has created or amended ~9,000 pages corresponding to mammalian genes. Each new page was seeded with content from databases in the public domain. This content included information about the gene's symbol, description, function, genomic location, structure and identifiers. Genes which did not have any existing wikipedia pages for its symbol, aliases, or title were created (e.g., MMP9). Genes which did have these conflicts in the wikipedia namespace were flagged for manual integration (e.g., Apolipoprotein_E). This bot is currently being designed and developed by AndrewGNF and JonSDSUGrad, with substantial input from the WP:MCB community.
