WormBase/Cold Spring Harbor has openings for 1-2 scientific
programmers. We are seeking individuals with significant experience
in bioinformatics, Perl and Web development. Please contact [email protected].

Announcing the opening of the C.elegans gift shop. A shop
dedicated to our favorite nematode. If you have any images you want to
see on shirts, mugs, etc. please contact Ahna Skop.

In the interests of providing stable data sets for whole genome
analysis, WormBase will now be freezing the genome and its annotations
with every 10th release (roughly two freezes per year). The first
freeze is WS100, located at
ws100.wormbase.org.

WormBase will be covered by a series of talks, posters, tutorials and
a workshop at the 14th International C. elegans Meeting. A preliminary schedule is
provided.
