21 Mar 2016 - Genome Browsers for C. elegans and Brown Kiwi Now Available

A Genome Browser is now available for the Caenorhabditis elegans - assembly released August 2014 by the C. elegans Sequencing Consortium, which is led by the - Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University, St. Louis - and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. - You can read more about their sequencing efforts - here. + assembly released February 2013 by the C. elegans Sequencing Consortium + (C. elegans Sequencing Consortium version WBcel235, UCSC version ce11). For more information and statistics about this assembly, see the NCBI assembly record - for WBcel235. Note - that the sequences in WBcel235 are identical to the sequence in WBcel245/ce11. This means - that WBcel245 only has different annotations, but is the exact same sequence as WBcel235. + for WBcel235. There are 7 complete chromsomes with a total size of 100,286,401 bases.

Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data may be obtained from the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. Please observe the conditions for use when accessing and using these data sets. The annotation tracks for this browser were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
