This month, WormBook has added three new chapters. Our coverage of nematodes other than C. elegans has been expanded by the addition of “Biology and genome of Trichinella spiralis” to the Genetics and genomics section. Additionally, “The sensory cilia of Caenorhabditis elegans” has been published in the Cell biology section and “Heterotrimeric G proteins in C. elegans” is now available in the Signal transduction section. For a monthly email containing information about new additions to WormBook, please sign up at wormbook.org/announce.html.
