WormBase Consortium
From WormBaseWiki
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, Paul Kersey of EBI, Matt Berriman of WTSI, Lincoln Stein of OICR, and John Spieth of WUSTL.
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.
