About WormBase
WormBase is an international consortium of biologists and
computer scientists dedicated to providing the research community with
accurate, current, accessible information concerning the genetics,
genomics and biology of C. elegans and some related nematodes.
Founded in 2000, the WormBase Consortium is led by Paul
Sternberg of CalTech, Richard Durbin of the Wellcome Trust Sanger
Institute, Lincoln Stein of Cold Spring Harbor, and John Spieth of the
Washington University Genome Sequencing Center.
In addition to their curation work, all sites have
ongoing programs in bioinformatics
research to develop the next generations of WormBase structure,
content and accessibility.
