-===================================================================================-



New Data:
---------
1) DNAse1 sites

7095 Features marking DNAse1 hypersensitive sites have been added to the database.
These have a Method of "DNAseI_hypersensitive_site".

They are from the paper:
Genome-scale identification of Caenorhabditis elegans regulatory elements by tiling-array mapping of DNase I hypersensitive sites
Shi B, Guo X, Wu T, Sheng S, Wang J, Skogerbo G, Zhu X, Chen R
BMC Genomics 2009, 10:92
doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-92 PMID 19243610

http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/10/92

The hypersensitive sites found fall into three categories: those cut only by 240 U/ml, only by 480 U/ml and those cut by both.

2) Ascaris suum

A draft genome including a preliminary gene set, based on "Ascaris
suum draft genome",Rex et.al,doi:10.1038/nature10553 has been added.

GFF3 and fasta files of the protein set and genome can be
downloaded from ftp.wormbase.org in addition to accessing it through
GBrowse and blast server. Ortholog C.elegans genes are also
annotated.

3) Heterorhabditis bactieriophora:

A H.bacteriophora genome based on a draft assembly from WashU St.Louis
has been added and is available as fasta and GFF3 for download and
viewable on GBrowse and blast. A gene set is expected from the
H.bacteriphora curation group for a future release.

4) Bursephelenchus xylophilus

A draft genome of B.xylophilus based on "Genomic Insights into the
Origin of Parasitism in the Emerging Plant Pathogen Bursephelenchus
xylophilus", Kikuchi et al., doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1002219 has been
added.

It also includes a gene set provided by the authors
and is available as fasta and GFF3 file for download from ftp.wormbase.org in addition 
to accessing it through GBrowse and blast.


Other Changes:
--------------
1) Genome Sequence error sites

A set of errors in the reference sequence have been identified by comparison of the N2 genome to the sister strain LSJ2 (which diverged from 
N2 before N2 was split up into lab specific strains):

Nature. 2011 Aug 17;477(7364):321-5. doi: 10.1038/nature10378.
Parallel evolution of domesticated Caenorhabditis species targets pheromone receptor genes.
McGrath PT, Xu Y, Ailion M, Garrison JL, Butcher RA, Bargmann CI.

This has resulted in 882 Features with the Method "Genome_sequence_error"  being made to mark the positions of the insertion or deletion errors.
The reference sequence has not yet been changed as a consequence because changes to the reference sequence make difficulties for people who 
require a stable genome sequence coordinate system.

There are 39 CDS models that will be changed as a consequence of these sequence errors and there are 15 Pseudogenes that will be 
re-examined because of these errors.

2) GI numbers have been updated to use the Nov 2011 GI protein IDs.


Model Changes:
------------------------------------
Additions:

1) ?Strain - new tags: 
          Sample_history Text
          Date_first_frozen UNIQUE DateType


2) ?Gene/?CDS/?Pseudogene/?Transcript - new tag:

              RNASeq_FPKM  ?Life_stage  Float  #Evidence

Notes: FPKM is the cufflinks measure of RNASeq transcript abundance - "Fragments Per Kilobase of exon per Million fragments mapped". 
Is like RPKM, but makes a correction for when using paired-reads.



Modifications:

3) ?Sequence 

                       Checksum MD5 Text     //checksums should only be created for an upper-cased sequence.
                                CRC64 Text   //checksums should only be created for an upper-cased sequence.

becomes:

                       Checksum MD5 UNIQUE Text     //checksums should only be created for an upper-cased sequence.
                                CRC64 UNIQUE Text   //checksums should only be created for an upper-cased sequence.

4) ?Transcript - Cosmetic change to allow ACeDB code to dump the data stored in this tag correctly. 

                       Brief_identification UNIQUE Text                           // [020306 kj]

becomes:

                       Brief_identification UNIQUE ?Text

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.
