-Expected queries:
+One of our goal would be to implement an advanced search engine -- something like a Wolfram Alpha for biology. In this page, we will gather meaningful and challenging queries for the Semantic Web technology and will define some goals of the BioHackathon 2010 from them.
+
+=== Expected query types ===
+
+Queries may vary from simple google-like keyword or phrase search to biological objects as its input. This section itemize prospected types of query arbitrary.
+
  * Gene ID
  * Technical terms
- * Phrase search (e.g. ortholog genes of gene A)
+ * Phrase search (e.g. "ortholog genes of gene A")
  * DNA or protein sequence
  *  :

  * Q: I have a set of predicted genes from a newly sequenced genome of a Theileria species. What is a unique characteristic of this set from the view point of the biological pathway? Is it natural that this organism lacks thiolase in the mevalonate pathway? (Toshiaki Katayama)
