Please note that WormBase version WS274 was released and is the current release now live on the website. The version of the C. elegans reference genome in this release is WBcel235, included since WS235.

Highlights of this release include:

1. Isoseq data which was presented at the PacBioNorth America User Group meeting. We applied the PacBio post processing pipeline as described here. The resulting sequences are including in the transcript alignments and will be visible on the genome browser. They will also be included in our automatic transcript generation pipeline in a future release of WormBase.
2. Improved code to generate non-redundant transcripts. Each CDS should now have only unique transcripts.
3. Improved interaction data display in the Interactions widget: New Venn diagram for the different types of interactions-physical, genetic and regulatory.
