LncRNAWiki, a component of ScienceWikis, is a wiki-based, publicly editable and open-content platform for community curation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), viz., a community-curated resource of lncRNA knowledge. Unlike conventional biological databases based on expert curation, LncRNAWiki harnesses collective intelligence to collect, edit and annotate information about lncRNA, quantifies users' contributions in each annotated lncRNA and provides explicit authorship for each contributor to encourage more participation from the whole scientific community.
