WormBase

WormBase is an online resource that provides information about the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, a key organism in biological research. Scientists use this simple worm to study genetics, development, and diseases because its genetic makeup is similar to that of humans. WormBase offers a comprehensive database containing genetic data, research papers, and tools that help researchers understand the worm's biology and apply this knowledge to broader scientific questions. It serves as a central hub for data sharing and collaboration in the scientific community focused on this important model organism.
