WormBook (http://www.wormbook.org) is an open-access, online collection of original, peer-reviewed chapters on the biology of C. elegans and related nematodes. It contains over 100 chapters, covering nearly every aspect of C. elegans research, from cell biology and neurobiology to evolution and ecology. WormBook also contains WormMethods, a collection of methods and protocols used by nematode researchers. WormBook also serves as the text companion to WormBase, the C. elegans model organism database. Objects such as genes, proteins, and cells are linked to the relevant pages in WormBase, providing easily accessible background information. Additionally, WormBook chapters contain links to other relevant topics in WormBook, and the in-text citations are linked to their abstracts in PubMed and full-text references, if available.
