The C. briggsae gene, sequence and protein pages are now
similar to the corresponding C. elegans pages.
Elegans/Briggsae Synteny Viewer Available
A early version of a synteny viewer for
comparing selected regions of the C. elegans and
C. briggsae genomes is now available.
ORFeome v1.1 data available
WormBase now contains the primer
sequences and amplification results for 19,478 ORFeome v1.1
gateway clones, as described in Reboul et al. Nat. Genet. 2003 Apr
7. OST reads showing C. elegans gene structures in need of
correction will be available in the near future. For now see WORFdb.
New Release Schedule
Effective immediately, WormBase will be testing out a new release
schedule. New releases will appear every two weeks, as before, but
for one week preceding a release, a preview will be available at the
WormBase development site. The
WS98 release will appear on the development site on April 6, 2003, and
will become available on the main site on April 13.
New WormBase server online
We have just brought a new WormBase server online. It should provide
noticeably improved performance over the old machine. The development
server has been moved to dev.wormbase.org. Please let us know if you notice anything
“unusual” about the new WormBase site.
