TL;DR: The Generic Genome Browser (GBrowse) is described, a Web-based application for displaying genomic annotations and other features and easy integration with other components of a model organism system Web site.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the two genomes exhibit extensive colinearity, and the rate of divergence appears to be higher in the chromosomal arms than in the centers, which will help to understand the evolutionary forces that mold nematode genomes.

TL;DR: The nearly complete genomic sequence and comparative analyses of the closely related species Caenorhabditis briggsae have been integrated into WormBase, including gene predictions, ortholog assignments and a new synteny viewer to display the relationships between the two species.

TL;DR: Internally, the database models are restructured to rationalize the representation of genes and to prepare the system to accept the genome sequences of three additional Caenorhabditis species over the coming year.

TL;DR: WormBook () is an open-access, online collection of original, peer-reviewed chapters on the biology of Caenorhabditis elegans and related nematodes that represents a generic publishing infrastructure that is easily adaptable to other research communities to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge in the field.
