WormBase is excited and looking forward to being in Glasgow for IWM 2023! We have many activities scheduled including a plenary talk in the evening on June 24th, the WormBase workshop in the afternoon of June 25th which will present and discuss data and tools in WormBase and the Alliance of Genome Resources, and the WormBase and microPublication booth that will be open from June 25th to June 27th. Come visit us with your questions, comments and suggestions at any of these occassions, we’d be happy to talk to you!

Three new features added to SimpleMine
WormBase SimpleMine users can now batch-download chromosome coordinates and transcription factors within 2kb of promoter regions. When searching for interacting genes, there is a new option to exclude high-throughput interaction results.
We have also developed an instance of SimpleMine for the Alliance of Genome Resources for researchers to batch download essential gene information for worm, yeast, fly, Xenopus, zebrafish, mouse, rat, and human. Your feedback on our work is always appreciated! Please email help@wormbase.org.
Please take the Alliance survey!
Help us improve the Alliance of Genome Resources (Alliance) by taking this brief survey. Your valuable input will give us insight into what data and tools are important to the community, and will help us prioritize and allot resources to their development and maintenance.
