We are very excited to present the new version of the WormBase website!

Designed from the ground up to be fast, customizable, and extensible, the new site offers a number of new features. Try out the new full database search with faceted results by both data type and species. Explore the role of human orthologs of worm genes by searching for human diseases. Log in and save favorite items and references that you access frequently. Share your knowledge with the community and WormBase curators by leaving comments.

Some things have been renamed; others rearranged; and still others removed outright. We know it might take some time to become accustomed to the new layout. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, chat with us when we’re online (see the LiveChat tab on the right hand side of the screen), send us a question using this web form, or just drop us an email at help@wormbase.org.

The old version of WormBase will be maintained for the foreseeable future at legacy.wormbase.org, but the databases will be frozen at WS230.

We’ll be updating the site with exciting new features and data on regular basis. These include a new data mining and querying platform, an alert system to notify for updates on your favorite items, and new species.

As always, we welcome your feedback!
