Due to technical difficulties, literature searches via Textpresso are
temporarily unavailable. We are working on the problem and hope to
have it resolved shortly.
New release of WormBase, WS136
WormBase has been updated to the WS136 release of the database. This
is the final data release for 2004. This release includes a new Gene Class
display. This display makes it easy to see, for example, all genes
that fall into the lin
class (as well as genes previously included in this class).
WormBase features described in new publication
New features to WormBase are described in a new manuscript “WormBase:
a comprehensive data resource for Caenorhabditis biology and genomics,
Chen et al.” appearing this month in the annual Nucleic Acids
Research Database issue. Access to the full
text is free.
New release of WormBase, WS135
WormBase has been updated to the WS135 release of the database. New
features include manually curated binding sites (visible on the Genome
Browser). In addition, WormBase has been updated to the most
recent release of the Uniprot database.
Initial batch of BCGSC GFP expression patterns available
The first set of GFP constructs and expression patterns from the BC C. elegans
Gene Expression Consortium is now available. This set spans over
300 images with more images to be added to WormBase over the coming
months. The Consortium is supported by funding from Genome BC /
Genome Canada. See the expression pattern of xnp-1 for an example.
