New procedure for account creation:

• Due to massive spam attacks, we had to change our policy for the creation of accounts. If you want to create an account, just send me a mail. We will create the account for you as quickly as possible, then you can change your password. This does not affect existing accounts, which remain active.
  
• Please remember that all members of the Bacillus community are invited to create accounts and to contribute to SubtiWiki!

News in SubtiWiki:

• February 2011: an improved version of an interactive protein-protein interaction map is available here (just replace "PtsH" in the browser line by the protein of your interest or write it into the search window)
• December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
• December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
• December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
• November 2010: a beta version of SubtInteract is online
• August 2010: several new pathway maps including Utilization of other nitrogen sources, Biotin synthesis, Murein recycling, and Protein secretion were uploaded to SubtiPathways
• July 2010: A manually curated functional classification of Bacillus genes can be downloaded here.
• March 2010: novel plasmids for the creation of strains expressing proteins with a C-terminal triple FLAG-tag (for simple immunological analysis of the proteins, pGP1087 and pGP1331)
