If you base hypotheses or experiments on data found in WormBase, please cite us according to the following guidelines:
WormBase web site, http://www.wormbase.org, release WSXX, date XXX.
Use the current WS release number and release date in your citation. This information is available at the top of the WormBase home page.
For data analysis and citation purposes, WormBase offers periodic freezes of both the database and WormBase software. These freezes, occuring with every tenth release of the database, are permanently archived at wsXXX.wormbase.org. They can be cited using the following URLs:
WS204 29 Jul 2009 http://ws204.wormbase.org/ WS200 20 Mar 2009 http://ws200.wormbase.org/ WS190 16 May 2008 http://ws190.wormbase.org/ WS180 07 Sep 2007 http://ws180.wormbase.org/ WS170 09 Feb 2007 http://ws170.wormbase.org/ WS160 31 Jul 2006 http://ws160.wormbase.org/ WS150 30 Nov 2005 http://ws150.wormbase.org/ WS140 26 Mar 2005 http://ws140.wormbase.org/ WS130 10 Oct 2004 http://ws130.wormbase.org/ WS120 01 Mar 2004 http://ws120.wormbase.org/ WS110 01 Oct 2003 http://ws110.wormbase.org/ WS100 10 May 2003 http://ws100.wormbase.org/
Citing A Specific Page
If you'd like to cite a specific page, you should use the WormBase "get" URL. Although pages may change or be retired, this special URL ensures that an object of interest will always be available, even if specific displays are retired.
Make note of the "name" and "class" of the current page:
http://www.wormbase.org/db/gene/gene?name=unc-26;class=Gene_name
Substitute these values into the "Get" URL:
http://www.wormbase.org/db/get?name=NAME;class=CLASS
From the example above, the URL would be:
http://www.wormbase.org/db/get?name=unc-26;class=Gene_name
Published references
You may also wish to cite the WormBase Nucleic Acids Research papers or make mention of WormBase in the Acknowledgements section of your paper.
