RiceWiki, a sub-project of ScienceWikis, is a community-based platform for rice (Oryza sativa) gene annotation. Unlike conventional biological databases based on expert curation, RiceWiki harnesses collective intelligence to collaboratively collect, edit and annotate information about rice, quantifies users' contributions in any wiki page, and provides explicit authorship for each contributor to encourage more participations from the whole scientific community. Currently, it contains a total of 66,269 rice genes from O. sativa Japonica and Indica.
