About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

The data on this site is a direct import of the WormBase 190 frozen dataset. Included are annotated operons, genes, transcripts and CDSs as well as RNAi and BLAST/BLAT homology data. Information about the location of available fosmid clones is also included.

The WS190 dataset is the tenth 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 50

Caenorhabditis elegans News

• new C.elegans release WS190
  Ensembl Worm has been updated with the new WormBase C. elegans WS190. This has the reference genome sequence corrected as well as updated gene models and features.

General News

• Canonical Transcripts
  

  Canonical transcripts have been defined for all genes in the core databases.

• SSAHA
  From release 50 we will no longer be providing SSAHA sequence search. If you wish to run your own SSAHA sequence search you can download the files to generate the search hashes from our FTP site.
• Projections of gene names and GO terms
  These have been done as usual, between a variety of species.
• Stored peptide stats
  In order to improve efficiency on ProtView, peptide statistics are now calculated in advance and stored as translation attributes, instead of being calculated on the fly.
