About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

The data on this site is a direct import of the WormBase 170 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 WS170 dataset is the 8th 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).

Caenorhabditis elegans News

• Data fixes and updates
  Additional xrefs for CDSs and transcripts have been added to the Ensembl Worm dataset. There have also been data fixes for some xrefs which were not displaying a WormBase ID, and for repeat features on proteins.

General News

• Removal of viral genes
  Viral genes have been removed from all species with Ensembl genebuilds (i.e.
