WormBase is a Part of the Gene Ontology's Reference Genome Project
WormBase is currently participating in the Gene Ontology Consortium’s Reference Genome Project, a collaborative project to comprehensively annotate gene function for twelve ‘Reference Genomes’. The Reference Genome project aims to improve the breadth and depth of annotation for participating genomes as well as provide reference annotations for newly sequenced or previously unannotated genomes. For more information, please see the GO Reference Genome Annotation Project.
