<p>This is an exciting event organised by DNAdigest. The aim is to create new content and enrich entries on everything to do with genetics and genomics.</p>
 
<p>Your knowledge is valuable. Could you come share it with the world?
Learn, contribute and build upon on the open knowledge within Wikipedia.</p>
 
<p>DNAdigest is organising a wiki editathon on May 29th open to everyone. The aim of the editathon is to make it easier to find new resources, online tools and recent content for genetics research when searching Wikipedia. We want to make wikipedia enriched with new content and links.</p>
<p>Everything from “genetic data sharing”, “gene research”, “genomic formats”,  “genetic data governance” to queries related to: “How should I manage my data and how can I make it available for other researchers?”,"Where can I find and understand what a gene does?", "Where can I contribute to genetic research?",“Where can I store my data in a public repository? What data goes in which repository?”,“How can I find data that I may access and use for my research?”</p>
Join us on May 29th, either in person or online as a wikipedia contributor.
