[edit] Goals

1. Define terms and link articles related to gene expression and gene expression analysis, but not terms that are relate to biology or molecular biology or bioinformatics or other broader topics.
2. Remove jargon and jargon definitions from articles related to gene expression (and bioinformatics, systems biology, computational biology articles that use this jargon)
3. Start a pattern for general 'science' jargon glossaries in a focused area
4. Provide references for as many definitions as possible, with the primary goal, however, being to improve reader undersetanding of technical articles in this area

[edit] Proposed Sources

• MIAME?
• Specific software applications and companies that helped define defacto standard terms (Resolver(MIAMI), Genespring, Affymetrix, Agilent)?
• invididual publications?
• online glossaries?
• wiktionary?
