WormBook

WormBook is an open access, comprehensive collection of original, peer-reviewed chapters covering topics related to the biology of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). WormBook also includes WormMethods, an up-to-date collection of methods and protocols for C. elegans researchers.[1][2][3][4]

WormBook is the online text companion to WormBase,[5] the C. elegans model organism database. Capitalizing on the World Wide Web, WormBook links in-text references (e.g. genes, alleles, proteins, literature citations) with primary biological databases such as WormBase and PubMed. C. elegans was the first multicellular organism to have its genome sequenced[6] and is a model organism for studying developmental genetics and neurobiology.

Contents

The content of WormBook is categorized into the sections listed below, each filled with a variety of relevant chapters. These sections include:

gollark: Thus, orbital food railguns WHEN?
gollark: Per second.
gollark: GTech™ produces several undecillion bees per second. However, that doesn't mean that everyone ever has whatever several undecillion bees divided by 7 billion is.
gollark: No, it's a distributional issue.
gollark: I am a VERY qualified economist. I passed a GCSE in it. This was definitely not worthless.
