Welcome to Wormbiome

Wormbiome is a database dedicated to collecting genomes associated with C. elegans! This database is a comprehensive collection of bacterial genomes related to the C. elegans nematode. This powerful model organism is naturally colonized by diverse bacteria, making it an ideal system for studying the interactions between host and microbes. With this database, researchers can access the genetic information of these associated bacteria and use it to understand the role of the microbiome in shaping host physiology and physiology and its implications for human health. Explore the relationships between different bacterial species, and track the spread of antibiotic-resistant strains. Dive into the metabolic pathways and biochemistry of the organisms and discover new applications in biotechnology and synthetic biology. Join us in unraveling the secrets of the C. elegans microbiome, and unlock the potential of this powerful model organism.
