Genes: Do we really want to know?....

From Levine Breaking News:

'GENE WIKI' TO DEBUT ON WIKIPEDIA:
AUTHORS SAY THEY HAVE CREATED 7,500 WIKIPEDIA ENTRIES ON DIFFERENT GENES:

Researchers plan to create a library of human genetics, with entries on the workings of individual genes, and make it available for anyone in Wikipedia rather than in an obscure academic format.

Authors of the "gene wiki" say they have created 7,500 Wikipedia entries on different genes and are editing another 650 already existing entries.The group outlined its aims this week in a paper published on the Public Library of Science's online journal, PLoS Biology.

The eight authors are from the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation in San Diego, San Diego State University and Washington University in St. Louis.
