WormBase -- Nematode Biology Database
What you can do:
Search genomic and other experimental data on Caenorhabditis elegans and related nematodes.
Highlights:
- WormBase is a central data repository for nematode biology.
- Initially created as a service to the Caenorhabditis elegans research field, WormBase has evolved into a powerful research tool in its own right.
- WormBase has been expanded to include the complete genomic sequence, gene predictions and orthology assignments from a range of related nematodes.
- This comparative data enrich the C. elegans data with improved gene predictions and a better understanding of gene function.
