Have you always wanted to contribute to WikiPathways but didn't know where to start? Here's your chance! We are organizing our third curation event to improve the quality and extent of our pathways. Curation events are open to all registered WikiPathways users, no prior experience necessary!
If you have a particular area of expertise, take a look at our [[1]] to identify pathways where you might contribute your expertise, or better yet, missing pathways that you would like to contribute.
If you don't have a specific set of pathways in mind, we have prepared a list of suggested curation tasks as well as lists of pathways in need of work.
Suggested tasks
- Add pathway links to pathways Details
- Update datanode annotation (xrefs) for datanodes with missing or incorrect annotation. Details
- Add pathway description to pathways with missing description Details
- Add literature references to pathways with no literature reference. Details
Link pathways
Pathways often contain links to other pathways as a label linked to with an arrow or line. The purpose of this task is to replace such links with a link to an actual pathway ID.
- Find a label on the pathway that refers to another pathway. For example, on the [pathway], there are several links to other pathways (Pentose phosphate, Glycogen metabolism etc).
- Find the WikiPathways (WP) identifier corresponding to the pathway in the link, for example WP134 for the human pentose phosphate pathway. You can find pathways and their identifiers through [[2]] or through the Search interface on the main page. Please note that pathways are species-specific.
- Remove the label representing the pathway.
- Add a pathway node (using the pathway button on the toolbar) and double click to open the properties dialog
- Fill out 'text label' with the text of the original label, i.e. Pentose phosphate pathway.
- Set 'biological type' to 'Pathway'.
- Set 'database' to 'WikiPathways'.
- Enter the idnetifier found in step 2 in the 'identifier' field.
- Click 'ok' to close the dialog and save the pathway.
