WormBook (WormBook)
Journal Descriptions
WormBook is an open-access, peer-reviewed online resource that serves as a comprehensive “living textbook” dedicated to the biology of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It is maintained by the WormBase Consortium, an international collaboration supported by major research institutions and funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Unlike traditional journals, WormBook is continuously updated and functions as an evolving reference work rather than a periodical publication. It provides in-depth chapters written by leading experts in molecular biology, genetics, and developmental biology. Topics include gene regulation, embryogenesis, neurobiology, aging, cell signaling pathways, and experimental methods used in C. elegans research. WormBook plays a central role in the scientific community because C. elegans is a widely used model organism for studying fundamental biological processes relevant to humans, including disease mechanisms and developmental genetics. The resource is freely accessible and is heavily used in academic research and teaching worldwide.
