About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

C. elegans 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).

  • Compara updates
    Homologies
    Gene trees have been updated to include the 2X genomes and use a multifurcating species tree, and homologues added based on gene trees.

  • Minor schema changes
    analysis_description
    Now has a 'displayable' flag to control whether or not it is usually displayed in the web pages
    xref
    One column has been changed and one added
    • the info_type column has addition ENUM values to give more details about xref provenance
    • A new column 'priority' supports the fetching of xrefs of the same type

    The API has of course been updated to reflect these changes
