Announcement of WormAtlas partnership with the journal of nematology

Abstract

A detailed understanding of nematode anatomy can be leveraged for the development of new parasitic nematode control strategies and for fundamental biological insights through nematode model organisms. The Center for C. elegans Anatomy, with its websites WormAtlas and WormImage, is the central anatomical resource for researchers studying the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we announce our expansion of the WormAtlas and WormImage resources beyond C. elegans to include additional nematode species. Towards this goal, we will partner with the Journal of Nematology to write and solicit anatomically focused review chapters for publication in the Journal and corresponding inclusion on the WormAtlas website.
