New Data:
---------

New orthology data from user submissions was added and curated.

EnsEMBL orthologues from EnsEMBL-compara release 44 were imported to update the ortholog_other EnsEMBL data.

Large increases of Anatomy_term and Anatomy_name have been made in order to clearly distinguish the identity of a cell (e.g. ABalapp) from its nucleus (e.g. ABalapp nucleus).

Transcript alignment data from non C.elegans Caenorhabditis species (C.briggsae / C. brenneri / C.remanei / C.japonica) to the C.elegans genome was added to WormBase.

Genome sequence updates:
-----------------------

7 changes were made to the genome sequence:

Quick installation guide for UNIX/Linux systems
-----------------------------------------------

1. Create a new directory to contain your copy of WormBase,
	e.g. /users/yourname/wormbase

2. Unpack and untar all of the database.*.tar.gz files into
	this directory. You will need approximately 2-3 Gb of disk space.

3. Obtain and install a suitable acedb binary for your system
	(available from www.acedb.org).

4. Use the acedb 'xace' program to open your database, e.g.
	type 'xace /users/yourname/wormbase' at the command prompt.

5. See the acedb website for more information about acedb and
	using xace.
