Special Issue: Caenorhabditis elegans

It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since the ‘essentially’ complete genome sequence of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was published in 1998. As it stands today, C. elegans remains the only multicellular organism that can claim to have a completely sequenced genome with truly inclusive telomere-to-telomere coverage. Perhaps of equal importance, the efforts of these investigators and their colleagues have helped both to establish a policy of open access data release and to spawn a new era in bioinformatics. In this special issue of Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the C. elegans genome by showcasing the advances in C. elegans research made possible by the whole genome sequence.

This special issue of Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics was guest edited by Patricia E. Kuwabara.
