WormBase has been updated to the WS231 release of the database. Read the release notes or visit the FTP site for bulk downloads. We’ve fixed a number of bugs identified after the launch of the new site. You can post feature requests or bug reports via this online form.
legacy.wormbase.org temporarily unavailable
Due to a server crash, legacy.wormbase.org is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have service restored shortly.
BLAT search options expanded to all species
Did you know that on the new WormBase website you can now run BLAT nucleotide similarity searches against any of the species housed at WormBase? Just visit the BLAST/BLAT Search page to run your queries.
Welcome to the new WormBase website!
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 [email protected].
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!
