Due to a server crash, legacy.wormbase.org is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have service restored shortly.
Partial service interruption, Saturday 3 Dec 2011
To accomodate a storage upgrade, select elements of the WormBase website will be unavailable on Saturday, 3 December 2011 from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM (ET; UTC -5). During this time, the following services will be unavailable: the Genome Browser; BLAST, BLAT, ePCR searches; the WormBase wiki; the WormBase blog; and the Worm Community Forum. We apologize for any difficulties this interruption may cause.
retiring of wormbase.sanger.ac.uk
due to the new WormBase web interface (preview it on Beta WormBase) scaling dynamically with demand and location of requests, dedicated permanent mirror sites will become obsolete as soon as the new infrastructure is deployed.
As part of this, wormbase.sanger.ac.uk will be retired on the 25th November 2011.
Server maintenance: Friday, 12PM ET through Saturday, 12PM ET
We’re simultaneously upgrading the storage architecture and request routing of WormBase starting today (Friday) running through Saturday afternoon. We’ve made preparations to keep all services available during this maintenance period. Intermittent service interruptions are possible, however, as these changes propagate across the global DNS network. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Genome Browser technical fixes in place
Over the past two days, we’ve fixed a number of technical issues with the Genome Browser. Please let us know at help@wormbase.org if you experience additional difficulties.
