description: WormBase is an online bioinformatics database of the biology and genome
  of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and other nematodes. It is used by
  the C. elegans research community both as an information resource and as a mode
  to publish and distribute their results. This collection references WormBase-accessioned
  entities.
