SubtiWiki is all about making a useful tool for the Bacillus community. It is thus very important to receive feedback on what the community needs.
We believe that there are many types of users, with different requirements. For example:
- You could be a molecular biologist wanting to know the sequence of your gene of interest to make a PCR
- You find a reference to a gene in a paper you are reading and are interested to know more about that gene
- You have some hypotheses in mind and want to collect some facts to get inspired
- You have a piece of information that you need almost daily and want to make it available not only to you, but also your group or to the whole community
In all of these cases, you will need different kind of information and you would favor one presentation over another.
