We are excited to announce that the beta version of the new WormBase site that was opened for testing six months ago will go live on March 30^th. We understand that it may take some time to adjust to the new interface, but hope that the improved organization, customizability, and speed of the site will ease the transition. Once the new website is released, the current (old) website will be frozen at version WS230 and made available for the foreseeable future.  We will continue to refine and expand the new site with exciting new features throughout 2012. As always, we welcome all comments and suggestions at help@wormbase.org.
