The new genome browser software is a live, in-page genome browser that you can add tracks to, pan, zoom and do a variety of things JBrowse 1 could do without leaving the page. If you’d like a full page JBrowse 2, you can click on the link just above the genome browser, or if you’d like to use JBrowse 1, you can click on the “Legacy” link just below JBrowse 2 to get the old JBrowse 1 image and link back.

End-of-life status for GBrowse; to be retired at the end of 2022
GBrowse — the original genome browser at WormBase — has reached an end-of-life support status. Accordingly, we plan to retire GBrowse from the WormBase website at the end of 2022.
JBrowse, the successor to GBrowse, has been the primary genome browser at WormBase for many years. Recently, we released JBrowse2 which fills in the final remaining functionality gaps that existed with GBrowse.
GBrowse was a critical initial component of the Generic Model Organism Database project whose objective was to create modular software components for online genomic resources. Ahead of its time in many ways, GBrowse launched with a sophisticated plug-in mechanism that allowed it to keep pace with rapid advancements in genome sequencing, high-throughput experimental approaches and the resulting data deluge. Over the following decades, GBrowse saw numerous improvements, including the adoption of a more interactive interface, and the addition of many tools for data display, download, and analysis.
Do you have any questions or concerns about the retirement of GBrowse? Please let us know how we can help at [email protected].
International C. elegans conference 2023 website available
The 2023 International C. elegans conference is happening! Important dates to note are here. WormBase looks forward to interacting with its users and participating in many events. Watch this space for more information.
The clones are back
Good news for those of you using the C. elegans libraries held at Wellcome Sanger Institute – they have just restarted distribution of the C. elegans clone libraries they hold. The webpage is currently under development, so please email [email protected] directly with your requests.
