WormBook has further expanded its coverage of parasitic nematodes this month with the addition of “The biology and genome of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora” to the Genetics and genomics section of WormBook and “Strongyloides stercoralis: a model for translational research on parasitic nematode biology” to WormMethods. Additionally, “Biogenic amine neurotransmitters in C. elegans” has just been added to the Neurobiology and behavior section.

New Chapters Added to WormBook
This month, WormBook has added three new chapters. Our coverage of nematodes other than C. elegans has been expanded by the addition of “Biology and genome of Trichinella spiralis” to the Genetics and genomics section. Additionally, “The sensory cilia of Caenorhabditis elegans” has been published in the Cell biology section and “Heterotrimeric G proteins in C. elegans” is now available in the Signal transduction section.
