A new Microarray Results page has
been developed to display the expanding microarray data in
WormBase. Microarray data can also be viewed in the context of the Gene Summary within the
Function section.
RNAi datasets now available
A mapping
table of Julie Ahringer RNAi clones to current predicted genes is
now available in a flat file format. The Ahringer RNAi feeding
library uses GenePairs names to label bacterial strains. GenePairs
names usually, but not always correspond to predicted C. elegans gene
names. The mapping file reconciles these discrepancies and also
contains some additional information including clone plate location,
clone error report status and type of affected gene. The file is
synchronized with the current live release to provide up-to-date
mapping information. A link to the mapping file can be found in the
Worm Reagents section of the main page (listed as RNAi clone mapping).
European Worm Meeting announced
The 2006 European Worm Meeting will take place in Hersonissos, Crete,
Greece, between the 29th of April and the 3rd of May. The Organizer:
Nektarios Tavernarakis (Greece). The Organizing Committee consists of:
Christian Eckmann (Germany), Monica Gotta (Switzerland), Neil Hopper
(UK), Fritz Muller (Switzerland), Stephen Nurrish (UK), Francesca
Palladino (France), Jerome Reboul (France) and Peter Swoboda
(Sweden). Additional details will be posted here when available.
Some Concise Description attributions missing
Due to a technical error, the Concise Descriptions that appear at the
top of the Gene Summary pages have lost paper evidence attribution
from worm meeting abstracts and from Worm Breeder’s Gazette articles.
Please be aware that some of these descriptions contain data that was
extracted from these sources, in addition to the published literature
that remains listed as evidence. Proper attribution will soon be
restored to the development site and the live site. WormBase
apologizes for the error.
