Biotwiki

Welcome to the Biotwiki Home page. Biotwiki is an easy to use and very powerful presentation, collaboration and discussion platform for the bio-sciences. You can view any Biotwiki page using your browser. Webpages created in Biotwiki look just like "normal" webpages: they contain text and pictures, links to other (Biotwiki) webpages and they are searchable. What is special about Biotwiki, is that every webpage contains an edit and attach button at the right hand top of the page. Biotwiki users can edit and add anything they like (text, pictures, attachments, etc.) to existing pages, or create a new page. If you want to actively contribute and get started with Biotwiki please register and have a look at BioTwikiHelp.
