==== 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 [[Publications|WormBase Nucleic Acids Research papers]].
 
 
 
==== Acknowledging WormBase  ====
 
 
 
If you you use WormBase on a regular and routine part of your research please consider acknowledging us
