Ensembl C.elegans

 

What's New in Ensembl 34

    • Compara database
      • Addition of pairwise (Translated BLAT) Mouse/Fugu
      • Addition of multiple alignments (Mercator/Mlagan) Human/Mouse/Rat/Dog
    • Display of regulatory factors

      A new dynamic page, GeneRegulationView, displays all the regulatory factors for a given gene; it can be reached via the lefthand menu on a GeneView page where the gene has regulatory information available.

    • News archive

      "What's New" items from releases prior to the new website design have been imported into the database, and can now be accessed through a new dynamic page, NewsView.

    • Species statistics

      The statistics table on each species home page now shows the correct date of the last full genebuild, rather than the date of the last database update.

    • Schema version checking

      The 'schema version' entries in the core 'meta' table have been changed to hold the current version numbers. This allows the API to check that the software and databases are using the same versions and give meaningful error messages.

About the C. elegans genome

Assembly and Annotation

C. elegansThe data on this site is a direct import of the Wormbase 140 dataset. No additional genebuild was carried out, but a series of blast runs was done to provide ESTs, Swall hits, and other similarity data.

We have included C.elegans into 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 throught our comparative genomics resources (such as homologous gene links and protein family/domain pages).

The canonical data for C. elegans is managed at Wormbase.
