Using RSS feeds to stay up-to-date with specific database entries

WormBase now offers the ability to stay up-to-date with favorite genes (or any database object) using RSS.

From any given report page, simply click on the "RSS" icon or logo in your browser. To subscribe, bookmark the link. You will automatically be notified if this gene is updated in the future.

Note that the first entry of the RSS feed contains all changes to the object dating back to 01 Jan 2007.

The generic format for the URL should be:

http://www.wormbase.org/db/rss?name=OBJECT_NAME;class=OBJECT_CLASS
