WormBase is pleased to announce a Genome Browser view of the Brugia malayi genome. For additional details on the genome sequencing project and data release policy, see the B. malayi project page at TIGR.
May additions to WormBook
Several sections in WormBook grew this month with the publication of four new chapters. WormBook has further expanded its coverage of nematodes other than C. elegans this month with the addition of “Strongyloides spp.” and “Genomics and biology of the nematode Caenorhabditis. briggsae” to the Genetics and genomics section. Additionally, “C. elegans and volatile anesthetics” was added to the Disease models and drug discovery section and “Roles of chromatin factors in C. elegans development” was recently published in the Molecular biology section. In order to find out about new additions to WormBook, please sign up for email notifications or access the WormBook RSS feed.
New genetic map available for testing
WormBase is testing a new Genetic Map dispay that uses the same interface as the Genome Browser. Please let us know of any problems you encounter or additional features you would like to see added.
New release of WormBase: WS175
WormBase has been updated to the WS175 release of the database.
Service to WormBase restored
Around 10:30 PM EDT 21 May, a major fiber optic cable was severed, disrupting internet service to customers in New York and New Jersey, including CSHL and WormBase.
Service has now been restored. We are testing all available WormBase services at the moment and should have complete service restored within the hour.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
