Alliance version 9.0.0 makes available a large increase in the number of C. elegans alleles (~12K to ~1.9M) due to shifting data sources on our back end resources.
Do you access www.alliancegenome.org via API?
A number of significant backend changes have removed or modified existing Alliance public API endpoints. You can find details in the Release Notes www.alliancegenome.org/release-notes
Saccharomyces Genome Database
The Gene page Summary widgets now display, where applicable, a gene systematic name (for fly, worm, and yeast genes) and UniProt Gene Centric Reference Proteome (GCRP) IDs (distinct from other UniProtKB IDs).
The Genomic Variant Information section of Allele pages, & the HT Variant page summaries, now display the relevant genome assembly, thousand comma separators for genomic coordinates (for ease of reading, e.g. 3L:20,992,839 not 3L:20992839), & symbol hyperlinks to JBrowse for the respective variant.
WormTagDB: a systematic survey of endogenously tagged proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans and roadmap toward the tagged proteome academic.oup.com/g3journal/ar...
Each of these portals currently features a summary section at the top, recent papers related to the disease from the Alliance bibliographic collection, and links to community resources.
Alliance version 9.0.0 adds 'Gene' pages for non-gene genome features, such as enhancers, transcription factor binding sites, etc. These pages are labeled 'GENOME FEATURE'. For example, a GENOME FEATURE report for an enhancer www.alliancegenome.org/gene/MGI:500...
Finally, the main Disease Portal page includes links to Community Resources related to disease models.
Endogenous protein tagging allows researchers to visualize protein localization and function in living C. elegans worms, but no comprehensive catalog of ta
