Have you authored a C. elegans paper and want to contribute to community curation? Access our Author Curation Portal to participate.
The Author Curation to Knowledgebase project (ACKnowledge, previously known as “Author First Pass”) aims at facilitating author curation to biological knowledgebases.
Biological knowledgebases serve as a critical resource for researchers and accelerate scientific discoveries by providing manually curated, machine-readable data collections. At present, the aggregation and manual curation of biological data is a labor-intensive process that relies almost entirely on professional biocurators. Biocuration, however, is greatly aided when authors directly participate in the process.
