New Data:
1) 50,906 new SNPs submitted to St. Louis
2) The first copy number variant (CNV) data generated by array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been submitted to WormBase from The University of British Columbia, Vancouver Gene Knockout Laboratory.
3) We have assigned nearly 4000 approved gene names to non C.elegans genes (mainly C.briggsae).
4) We have updated the other-nematode ESTs used for BLATing using data from EMBL Release 91 (31-May-2007).
5) We have updated the RefSeq mapping.
6) We have added RST (RACE Sequence Tags) to the Splice_confirmation hash.

2) ?Operon History Acquires_merge UNIQUE ?Operon XREF Merged_into #Evidence Split_into UNIQUE ?Operon XREF Split_from #Evidence
3) Two new #Molecular_change subtags: a) Regulatory_feature #Evidence // for cases where it overlaps a known feature b) Genomic_neigborhood Text #Evidence // where it is in the "region" of a gene and might influence it
Model Changes:
1) added RST to Splice_confirmation hash

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.
