A profile of embryonic unc-4::GFP motor neurons generated using MAPCeL (MicroArray Profiling C. elegans cells) from Fox, et.al, 2005 is now available in WormBase. Gene lists for both enriched and expressed genes can be accessed from Expression Cluster and Gene report pages (e.g. alt-1).
Intellectual lineage images now available
Images of the C. elegans community intellectual lineage displayed at the International Worm Meeting this summer are now available for download.
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).
First set of gene interaction data available
WormBase has added ~4000 (some redundant) genetic and regulatory
interactions to the database. These interactions were extracted from
the C. elegans literature using Textpresso. Interactions are
available on the Gene Summary
pages. Please send us your comments
and corrections.
New genome-wide RNAi screen on early embryogenesis is now available
The results from the systematic RNAi screen reported in Soennichsen et al., “Full genome RNAi profiling of early embryogenesis in C. elegans” are now available on the development site. There are links to movies and other relevant information at the PhenoBank. See WBRNAi00049552 for an example.
