The first set of GFP constructs and expression patterns from the BC C. elegans
Gene Expression Consortium is now available. This set spans over
300 images with more images to be added to WormBase over the coming
months. The Consortium is supported by funding from Genome BC /
Genome Canada. See the expression pattern of xnp-1 for an example.

The results from the systematic RNAi screen reported in PMID:
15489339, Rual et al., “Toward improving Caenorhabditis elegans
phenome mapping with an ORFeome-based RNAi library” are now
available. There are 10951 experiments, 1066 of which showed a mutant
phenotype. See MV_SV
mv_AAB02615 for an example.

Affymetrix GeneChip and Washington University GSC microarray probe set
information is now available in WormBase. The data can be accessed
from the Reagents
section of the Gene Summary and on the Genome
Browser.

445 published antibodies, representing the initial curation effort of
these reagents, are now available in the Reagents
section of the Gene Page.

The Genome BC/Genome Canada-funded
C. elegans gene expression project has released a collection of
more than 1.6 million sequenced tags from 15 Serial Analysis of Gene
Expression (SAGE) libraries for developmental stages, tissues and cell
types. The SAGE data are currently available at http://elegans.bcgsc.bc.ca. They
will appear in WormBase in the near future. Additional SAGE data will
be added on an on-going basis.
