Share your knowlege about worm web resources
WormBase is collecting information about web resources for worm researchers. If you either run, or know of an internet-accessible resource that provides information or performs functions useful to the research of C. elegans or other nematodes, please submit this information to raymond@caltech.edu. We plan to construct ‘yellow pages’ for these web resources, so help us with this effort!
