WormBase has been updated to the WS134 release of the database. This
release contains new RNAi experiments from Rual et al. (2004). The
Genome Browser has been enhanced to display alternative splices in
UTRs within gene models, along with a new experimental track the
displays genetic spans.
Genetic spans now available on the Genome Browser
To aid in positional cloning, the calculated genetic span of loci with
two-factor positions are now displayed on the Genome Browser under the
track “Genetic Limits”. See III:7,502,125
for an example. Please note that these positions should be treated
with some skepticism since they rely on interpolating the genetic map
onto the physical map. Please send us your comments on this
experimental feature!
New genome-wide RNAi data set based on an ORFeome library available
The results from the systematic RNAi screen reported in PMID:
15489339, Rual et al., “Toward improving Caenorhabditis elegans
phenome mapping with an ORFeome-based RNAi library” are now
available. There are 10951 experiments, 1066 of which showed a mutant
phenotype. See MV_SV
mv_AAB02615 for an example.
