Negative Proteome Database adds C. elegans Proteins
The Negative Proteome
Database, which allows researchers interactively explore the
differences between the protein content of different species, now
carries C. elegans in addition to fruitfly, yeast, human,
mouse, arabidopsis, dictyostelium and a variety of prokaryotes. The
database is still in beta stage: please report bugs to the database
maintainer.
