We are aware that there is a problem with registering an account with WormBase, and getting the required confirmation e-mail. We have taken some steps to resolve this issue, but it might take a few days for this to take effect. We appreciate your patience with this matter.
Using WormBase 2: remember to open widgets
If you want to see all the data that you were used to seeing on the gene page, remember to open the related widgets on the left sidebar. For example, if you want to see all the alleles/variations of a gene, remember to click on the ‘Genetics’ widget. Once you do this, this preference is remembered.

New WormBase website releasing in two weeks!
We are excited to announce that the beta version of the new WormBase site that was opened for testing six months ago will go live on March 30th. We understand that it may take some time to adjust to the new interface, but hope that the improved organization, customizability, and speed of the site will ease the transition. Once the new website is released, the current (old) website will be frozen at version WS230 and made available for the foreseeable future. We will continue to refine and expand the new site with exciting new features throughout 2012. As always, we welcome all comments and suggestions at [email protected].
You can find data files on our FTP site
We would like to remind users that our FTP site provides access to various data files. WormBase has recently improved the organization of it’s FTP site so that users can easily browse and find different data files. We have made nearly every file directly accessible without needing to know what the current version of WormBase is. For example, the following link will always point to the most current release of WormBase:
ftp://ftp.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/releases/current-www.wormbase.org-release.
You can also access files related to different genomes for a given release, for example you can go to the C. elegans or C. briggsae specific directories.
