WormBase has been updated to the WS141 release of the database. The
WS142 release of the database is now available for testing on the development site.
Protein motifs now displayed on the Genome Browser
Protein motifs are now displayed in genomic coordinates on the Genome
Browser. You can see these features by enabling the “Protein
Motifs” track. This track was created by interpolating translated
coordinates of protein motifs into genomic coordinates. In the event
that a motif spans an exon boundary, a dashed line is displayed.
First WormBase mirror site in Asia now available; all mirrors stabilized
The third WormBase mirror site — and our first in Asia — is now
available at wormbase.ccbb.re.kr. The mirror
is hosted at the Center for
Computational Biology and Bioinformatics in Daejeon, South Korea
and maintained by Chang Hyuk Kwon. This site joins our two existing
mirrors at Caltech (Pasadena, CA
USA) and IMBB (Crete,
Greece). We have also established a robust mechanism for keeping
these sites up-to-date. If you are interested in hosting a mirror in
your lab or at your university, please contact Todd Harris (harris@cshl.edu).
New genome-wide RNAi screen on early embryogenesis is now available
The results from the systematic RNAi screen reported in Soennichsen et al., “Full genome RNAi profiling of early embryogenesis in C. elegans” are now available on the development site. There are links to movies and other relevant information at the PhenoBank. See WBRNAi00049552 for an example.
