Portals within WikiPathways serve as organizing points for communities with focused pathway interests. For example, a portal could organize pathways for a particular species or research area. The main advantages of portals include:

• Simplifying drawing and databasing of your pathways
• Help to keep track of ‘works-in-progress’ with collaborators
• Help attribute credit for pathway authors and curators
• Attract new collaborators
• Help to define a community

WikiPathways currently has three portals, highlighting pathway content contributed by specific communities:

• GenMAPP contributed pathways
• BiGCaT contributed pathways
• Micronutrient portal for the NuGO micronutrient project.

Creating a portal is easy using existing templates available from WikiPathways. If you are interested in creating a portal at WikiPathways, please contact us!.
