Check out the new BLAST service at the Alliance of Genome Resources (Alliance). This service supports separate environments for each of the Model Organism Databases (MODs; currently for flies and worms) as well as a unified environment for the Alliance. Results provide detailed alignments and annotations for query regions of similarity to various genomes within the Alliance.
Three new features added to SimpleMine
WormBase SimpleMine users can now batch-download chromosome coordinates and transcription factors within 2kb of promoter regions. When searching for interacting genes, there is a new option to exclude high-throughput interaction results.
We have also developed an instance of SimpleMine for the Alliance of Genome Resources for researchers to batch download essential gene information for worm, yeast, fly, Xenopus, zebrafish, mouse, rat, and human. Your feedback on our work is always appreciated! Please email [email protected].
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.
Service status update: WormBase tools back online
Several WormBase tools that were unavailable this morning (see blog post below) during server upgrades are now back online. Thank you for your patience.
Please note that some WormBase tools are down
Please note that because of server upgrades that we are doing the following WormBase tools are not available for use, including the Author First Pass form. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. The following tools are currently out of service:
