About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

The data on this site is a direct import of the WormBase 160 frozen dataset. Included are annotated operons, genes, transcripts and cds's as well as RNAi and BLAST/BLAT homology data. Information about the location of available fosmid clones is also included.

The WS160 dataset is the 7th frozen release of WormBase C.elegans data. All data used in the frozen releases is available from the WormBase FTP site and links to permanent websites can be found on the WormBase home page.

We have included C.elegans in the Ensembl system to allow people to access the data through the Ensembl user interface (both for visualisation and data mining) and to provide cross-species integration through our comparative genomics resources (such as homologous gene links and protein family pages).

What's New in Ensembl 43

Caenorhabditis elegans News

• Xrefs
  Additional Xrefs have been added to Ensembl C. elegans.

General News

• A faster ContigView
  ContigView now displays information faster. Each open panel in ContigView is prepared in parallel, and then returned to the page when complete. This results in faster page loads.
• New - Table view
  In ContigView you can now click on the name of a feature alignment track and select 'DAS Table View' (or for DAS tracks 'view DAS reponse') from the zmenu.
