WormBase comprises the following main data sets:
- The annotated genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans, Caenorhabditis briggsae, Caenorhabditis remanei, Caenorhabditis brenneri, Caenorhabditis angaria, Pristionchus pacificus, Haemonchus contortus, Meloidogyne hapla, Meloidogyne incognita, and Brugia malayi;
- Hand-curated annotations describing the function of ~20,500 C. elegans protein-coding genes and ~16,000 C. elegans non-coding genes;
- Gene families;
- Orthologies;
- Genomic transcription factor binding sites
- Comprehensive information on mutant alleles and their phenotypes;
- Whole-genome RNAi (RNA interference) screens;
- Genetic maps, markers and polymorphisms;
- The C. elegans physical map;
- Gene expression profiles (stage, tissue and cell) from microarrays, SAGE analysis and GFP promoter fusions;
- The complete cell lineage of the worm;
- The wiring diagram of the worm nervous system;
- Protein-protein interaction Interactome data;
- Genetic regulatory relationships;
- Details of intra- and inter-specific sequence homologies (with links to other model organism databases).
In addition, WormBase contains an up-to-date searchable bibliography of C. elegans research and is linked to the WormBook project.

Famous quotes containing the word contents:
“If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“To be, contents his natural desire;
He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Such as boxed
Their feelings properly, complete to tags
A box for dark men and a box for Other
Would often find the contents had been scrambled.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
