WormBase has been updated to the WS146 release of the database. This
release contains over 1000 new curated expression patterns, many with
accompanying images. See ZK430.2 for an example.
New release of WormBase, WS145
WormBase has been updated to the WS145 release of the database which
includes updated alignments to the latest human IPI protein set.
Initial WormBook chapters now available
The first 90 chapters of WormBook are now available as
preprints.
New Microarray Data Display
A new Microarray Results page has
been developed to display the expanding microarray data in
WormBase. Microarray data can also be viewed in the context of the Gene Summary within the
Function section.
RNAi datasets now available
A mapping
table of Julie Ahringer RNAi clones to current predicted genes is
now available in a flat file format. The Ahringer RNAi feeding
library uses GenePairs names to label bacterial strains. GenePairs
names usually, but not always correspond to predicted C. elegans gene
names. The mapping file reconciles these discrepancies and also
contains some additional information including clone plate location,
clone error report status and type of affected gene. The file is
synchronized with the current live release to provide up-to-date
mapping information. A link to the mapping file can be found in the
Worm Reagents section of the main page (listed as RNAi clone mapping).
