WormBase will do a themed release for WS242, which will focus on the curation of small RNA biogenesis.

This will include new publications, ontologies, interactions, gene models and more.

During the course of the curation effort, 933 protein coding genes of C.elegans / C.remanei / C.briggsae / C.japonica / C.brenneri / B.malayi and O.volvulus will be investigated. In addition new ncRNA genes will be added to C.remanei / C.briggsae / C.japonica / C.brenneri and O.volvulus.
