New Data: --------- A large curation effort was done on the C.brenneri gene predictions, reducing the number of potentially erroneous gene models by half. Genome sequence updates: ----------------------- New Fixes: ---------- Known Problems: --------------- Other Changes: -------------- Proposed Changes / Forthcoming Data: ------------------------------------- Some model changes in preparation for short-read expression data. Model Changes: ------------------------------------ Added a Allow_misalign tag to the Homol_data class to allow exact AND fuzzy matches. -===================================================================================- Merry Christmas / Hanukkah / winter solstice / ... from Michael Quick installation guide for UNIX/Linux systems ----------------------------------------------- 1. Create a new directory to contain your copy of WormBase, e.g. /users/yourname/wormbase 2. Unpack and untar all of the database.*.tar.gz files into this directory. You will need approximately 2-3 Gb of disk space. 3. Obtain and install a suitable acedb binary for your system (available from www.acedb.org). 4. Use the acedb 'xace' program to open your database, e.g. type 'xace /users/yourname/wormbase' at the command prompt. 5. See the acedb website for more information about acedb and using xace. ____________ END _____________
