We’ve been experiencing technical difficulties related to a network outtage at our data center. This caused the Genome Browser to be taken offline. We’ve now restored service. We apologize for the difficulties.
WormMart currently unavailable
WormMart will be unavailable for the next few days while we resolve a technical issue. We apologize for the disruption of service.
Unscheduled service outtage: all services restored
The colocation facility hosting WormBase suffered a catastrophic failure of a critical component today around 8AM ET. System administrators worked throughout the day to restore service. We are happy to report that all services are back online and apologize for any inconvenience.
Possible service interruptions, 31 August 2010
We’re relocating some services to a new hosting facility beginning at 10AM ET (GMT -5), Tuesday August 31, 2010. We plan to maintain systems at the old facility during this transition, but because these upgrades require modifications to the global domain name system records, you may encounter intermittent service interruptions or “server not found” errors. We apologize in advance for any difficulties.
Typically updates such as this propagate throughout the DNS system within hours but may take up to 48 hours to fully resolve.
Service Upgrade: 20 July 2010, 12PM to 5PM (ET, GMT -4)
We’re bringing additional server capacity online today to cope with the ever-increasing demand at WormBase. This process requires powering down and reorganizing some of our server capacity; you may see increased load times. Thank you for your patience.
