Registering Lab, Strain and Allele designations

If you would like to register a new lab and/or receive strain and allele designations please consult the WormBase documentation page here.  This page also describes the nomenclature that WormBase requires and uses to describe genes, alleles, strains, gene knockouts, modifiers (suppressors, revertants and enhancers), and chromosomal aberrations (duplications, deficiencies, inversions and translocations) .
