-4). We hope to have service restored by 9 PM. Should you require access during this period, consult our list
of mirrors at the bottom of this page or use the development site.
Service to the site was restored at 6:45 PM EDT but intermittent outtages may persist until domain name server
entries have propagated across the globe.
We apologize for any inconvenience this interruption may have caused.
Upcoming scheduled service outtage
WormBase will be offline on Tuesday, January 25th from approximately

apologize for any inconvenience. Users may wish to use the Caltech WormBase mirror site
during this period.
Textpresso server is back on-line
Service to the Textpresso server (which powers literature searches at
WormBase) has been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this
outtage may have caused.

temporarily unavailable. We are working on the problem and hope to
have it resolved shortly.
