new blog post: "Where do the WikiPathways come from?" https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/2026/02/22/where-do-the-wikipathways-come-from.html https://doi.org/10.59350/6smn2-ah530

"We can see who the 8 people are who contributed to this pathway [..], and many authors are member of the @wikipathways review team who focus more on technical quality and the biology. The first author, however, often is the person who contributed most of the biological knowledge in the pathway, in this case Akhilesh Pandey from the NetSlim collaboration"

Screenshot from the blog post, showing the WikiPathways SPARQL interface with a SPARQL query in the text box in the top left, on the right hand side a folder structure with other examples SPARQL queries, and in the bottom a table with results from the text box SPARQL query. The table shows a list of eight authors of the pathways with identifier WP10. It shows their names, there profile pages, and for some of them, their ORCID identifiers.

Where do the WikiPathways come from?

WikiPathways was founded in 2008, in the year I left Wageningen (and we Nijmegen) and moved to Uppsala, Sweden. When we dediced to move back to The Netherlands in 2012, I got to opporunity to join the Department of Bioinformatics (BiGCaT) and work on Open PHACTS. I had visited the group in March 2011 because I had a COST action workshop near Maastricht (about nanoQSAR) and the bioinformatics group did WikiPathways.
