Fonstein, Kogan, Osterman, Overbeek and Vonstein found the non-profit Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) to follow their vision of seeking advances in understanding through comparative analysis of the growing body of genomic data. The team at FIG began a new open source comparative genomics environment, the SEED. The Project to Annotate 1000 Genomes is a central goal of FIG. FIG is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing support for those analyzing genomes. It focuses on organizing the data needed to support interpretation of genomes, providing the infrastructure needed by the world community in its efforts to achieve understanding. FIG offers the key services required to architect and implement a comparative framework for interpreting genomes. In addition, we pick specific, critical problems and attempt to actively participate in the unraveling of the secrets within these amazing entities. It is only by merging the work of building infrastructure with the applications that use it that we will more deeply understand what is needed at each step.

The Pathology Informatics Curriculum Wiki is a public wiki based on community-based, continually updated online resources. It is about computers and information technology as tools within the field of pathology. Its content includes information management and communication (e.g. meetings on quality, electronic medical records, electronic order entry, reporting critical values, etc.) The goals of the Pathology Informatics Curriculum Wiki are four-fold: 1. To increase interest among pathology residents in pathology informatics; 2. To become a shared educational resource for pathology training programs to supplement or develop their own local curriculum in pathology informatics; 3. To increase research activities in the field; and 4. To connect pathology residents to experts in pathology informatics. We encourage contributors to (1) use the the wiki format to improve and extend this curriculum; (2) help edit and maintain the pathology informatics related pages in Wikipedia that are linked to this curriculum, and (3) create new pathology informatics pages in Wikipedia and link them to this website. In each of the lessons of the curriculum, we highlight areas where we feel that there is need for new or updated articles in Wikipedia relating to that topic.

Database documenting mycological nomenclatural novelties (new names and combinations) and associated data, for example descriptions and illustrations. The nomenclatural novelties will each be allocated a unique MycoBank number that can be cited in the publication where the nomenclatural novelty is introduced. These numbers will also be used by the nomenclatural database Index Fungorum, with which MycoBank is associated and will also serve as Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs). Nomenclatural experts will be available to check the validity, legitimacy and linguistic correctness of the proposed names in order to avoid nomenclatural errors; however, no censorship whatsoever, (nomenclatural or taxonomic) will be exerted by MycoBank. Deposited names will remain -when desired- strictly confidential until after publication, and will then be accessible through MycoBank, Index Fungorum, GBIF and other international biodiversity initiatives, where they will further be linked to other databases to realize a species bank that eventually will link all databases of life. MycoBank will (when applicable) provide onward links to other databases containing, for example, living cultures, DNA data, reference specimens and pleomorphic names linked to the same holomorph. Authors intending to publish nomenclatural novelties are encouraged to contribute to this new initiative. For the moment 2 search engines are available from the MycoBank website. The first one permits to search for fungal names (at any rank level), the authority or the MycoBank unique number. The second is dedicated to bibliographic queries related to fungal name''''s publications. MycoBank users willing to deposit their data will have to register so that they willbe able to contact the depositor for specific information (e.g. MycoBank number, possible points of attention regarding the name, actual publication, etc), and to avoid fake entries.
