WormBase has been updated to the latest build of the database. Release notes are available on the WormBase Wiki.
Genomes in WormBase
In addition to C. elegans, WormBase provides several resources for viewing and obtaining genome information for different worm species. WormBase classifies genomes in various tiers depending on the amount of curation effort it is able to spend on maintaining them. For a description of the various genomes either in, or coming to WormBase, their current status and the resources available for each, please visit http://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase_Genomes.
Unscheduled service outtage: all services restored
