Wormpep data set:
----------------------------

There are 20181 CDS in autoace, 24029 when counting 3847 alternate splice forms.

The 24029 sequences contain 10,622,961 base pairs in total.

Modified entries      69
Deleted entries       38
New entries           73

Net change  +37
The differnce between the total CDS's of this (24029) and the last build (23993) does not equal the net change 37
Please investigate! ! 




Status of entries: Confidence level of prediction (based on the amount of transcript evidence)
-------------------------------------------------
Confirmed              8730 (36.3%)	Every base of every exon has transcription evidence (mRNA, EST etc.)
Partially_confirmed   11743 (48.9%)	Some, but not all exon bases are covered by transcript evidence

New Data:
---------

1) tRNAs for C. briggsae and C. brenneri

2) TC1 Transposon annotation Update
WBTransposon objects replaceing old sequence based naming.

3) MIRAGE1 Transposon annotation Update

4) The Phenotype Ontology has been modified to curate nematode species other than the C. elegans \u201cN2\u201d strain. This includes a change in term names from \u201c_abnormal\u201d to \u201c_variant\u201d.  The old term names that included \u201cabnormal\u201d have been kept as synonyms so people used to these terms will still be able to find them. The ID's have NOT changed.

Example:

WBPhenotype:0000037:* egg_morphology_abnormal*
Def: "Any deviation in the overall structure or appearance of fertilized oocytes that are deposited by adult hermaphrodites.

*Changed to:*

WBPhenotype:0000037:* egg_morphology_variant*
Def: "Any variation in the overall structure or appearance of fertilized oocytes that are laid compared to those laid by control animals.
synonym: "egg_morphology_abnormal 



Genome sequence updates:
-----------------------

Two "C's" were added to C56G2 at bases 40730 and 40963.

New Fixes:
----------


Known Problems:
---------------


Other Changes:
--------------

Proposed Changes / Forthcoming Data:
-------------------------------------

1) C. elegans 454 sequence data for WASHU 
See the RNAseq_Mitreva_454_elegans Analysis object in WS203


Model Changes:
------------------------------------
None same as WS201


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


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.
