Laboratory, Strain, and Allele Designations

The Caenorhabditis Elegans Centre (CGC) at http://www.cbs.umn.edu/CGC/CGChomepage.htm assigns specific identifying designations to each laboratory engaged in dedicated long-term genetic research on C. elegans. Each such laboratory is assigned a lab/strain code, for naming strains, and an allele code, for naming mutations (see: http://cbs.umn.edu/CGC/Nomenclature/code.htm).

Extensive background information on many aspects of the biology and experimental protocols used for C. elegans can be found in [1], the freely available peer-reviewed compendium of C. elegans biology.
