Abstract
WormBase (http://www.wormbase.org) is an important knowledge resource for biomedical researchers worldwide. To accommodate the ever increasing amount and complexity of research data, WormBase continues to advance its practices on data acquisition, curation and retrieval to most effectively deliver comprehensive knowledge about Caenorhabditis elegans, and genomic information about other nematodes and parasitic flatworms. Recent notable enhancements include user-directed submission of data, such as micropublication; genomic data curation and presentation, including additional genomes and JBrowse, respectively; new query tools, such as SimpleMine, Gene Enrichment Analysis; new data displays, such as the Person Lineage browser and the Summary of Ontology-based Annotations. Anticipating more rapid data growth ahead, WormBase continues the process of migrating to a cutting-edge database technology to achieve better stability, scalability, reproducibility and a faster response time. To better serve the broader research community, WormBase, with five other Model Organism Databases and The Gene Ontology project, have begun to collaborate formally as the Alliance of Genome Resources.
Highlights
WormBase is a critically important public information resource for nematode research
The first two areas are centered around the nematode species Caenorhabditis elegans and other experimentally tractable nematodes such as Caenorhabditis briggsae
Information in this area is primarily accessible through the main web portal http://www. wormbase.org

We joined the Alliance of Genome Resources (AGR) to provide a uniform portal of knowledge for major model organisms for medical research. Our goal is to facilitate research by providing up-to-date, high quality and curated information that is useful, easy to find and, easy to comprehend To this end, we constantly make improvements to data acquisition, processing and presentation.
