Gene Class Descriptions

Gene class descriptions are a new data type that has been started in May 2011. This curation type is to clarify what WB gene classes are, beyond a simple definition of the acronym itself. They are targeted to non-worm researchers as this audience of people is the one that are most unfamiliar with the worm biology and are in the most need for us to provide this lay-person bridge. Gene class descriptions should contain a brief definition of the terms used as the name of the class, a brief historical note of how the genes came to be grouped together in that class, and a brief summary of the biology that is known about the members of the class or some other interesting tidbit that will entertain curiosity and further exploration into WormBase.


Number of gene classes 2270(WS225).
