Another record year for WormBase: over 50 million pages served.

Curious about how many people use WormBase and how often? Me too.

I just finished compiling the access statistics for 2010. Last year, WormBase served 51,606,849 distinct pages. This is a dramatic increase over 2009 (34,106,168) pages and continues the trend seen over the last few years. Note: spiders, web-crawling robots, and programmatic data-mining requests are excluded from these tallies.

We have some great things planned for our user community this year, including a ground up re-design of the site designed in part to meet this growing demand.
