About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

C. elegans 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).

What's New in Ensembl 44

Caenorhabditis elegans News

  • Import of WormBase 170
    Ensembl Caenorhabditis elegans has been updated with gene models and genome sequence based on WormBase WS170, and also has additional protein features.

General News

  • ncRNAs for Ensembl chordates
    All Ensembl genebuild databases (i.e. excluding the imported invertebrate databases for mosquitoes, fruit fly, worm and yeast) have been updated with new ncRNA data.

  • Schema changes
    There have been no major schema changes this release, however we are starting to systematically work through the schema to make sure that all column types are appropriate for the data they are likely to hold.
