WormBase has been updated to the WS133 release of the database. This
release contains the first recalculation of reciprocal best blast
match ortholog pairs between C. elegans and C. briggsae
since the initial analysis. For an example, see the Gene Page entry
for lin-29.
Three Week Release Interval
For a trial period lasting until the end of 2004, WormBase will be
switching to a three week interval between data releases.
Genes Now Searchable By Descriptive Terms
In addition to searching for genes by name, users may now search using
descriptive terms such as inducible, functional
descriptions such as cancer,
or proper names from other model systems such as bicoid. This facility draws from
the recently added homology group data as well as manually curated
concise descriptions of gene function.
