WormBase has been updated to the WS149 release of the database. This release includes over 20,000 new oligo set microarray probes from Agilent and updated blast databases of human and Drosophila.
Cell-Specific microarray data now available in WormBase
A profile of embryonic unc-4::GFP motor neurons generated using MAPCeL (MicroArray Profiling C. elegans cells) from Fox, et.al, 2005 is now available in WormBase. Gene lists for both enriched and expressed genes can be accessed from Expression Cluster and Gene report pages (e.g. alt-1).
Possible WormBase Access Interruption
Due to a dispute between two major ISPs, the WormBase web site may not be accessible to certain Internet users until the dispute is resolved. We apologize for what we hope will be a very temporary inconvenience. For more information, please see this article on Slashdot.
New WormBook chapters available
Chapters recently added to WormBook include: Genetic enhancers, Genomic classification of protein-coding gene families, Alternative splicing in C. elegans, C. elegans microRNAs, Cell cycle regulation, Mitochondrial genetics, Gastrulation in C. elegans.
