WormBook: peer-reviewed chapters of C. elegans biology
WormAtlas: Interactive database of C. elegans anatomy
Benchling: virtual lab notebook and tool for annotating and editing biological sequences
Integrated DNA Technologies: CRISPR Cas9 gRNA design tools, oligo ordering, and more
National Center for Biotechnology Information Basic Local Alignment Tool (NCBI BLAST): Find regions of similarity between biological sequences
UniProt: Resource for protein sequence and functional information
AlphaFold3 Server: Protein structure prediction program (About)
Protein Data Bank: database of solved 3D protein structures
New England Biolabs: tools and enzymes for cloning (see: Resources & Interactive Tools page)
Expasy Translate: Turn a DNA or RNA sequence into a protein sequence
C. elegans Codon Adapter: Optimizes codon sequences for use by C. elegans
Addgene: plasmid repository and sequence visualizer
FIJI (is just ImageJ): Image processing and analysis software
EdX Course: free Image processing and Data Analysis for Life Scientists course
AlexaFluor Antibodies: Widely used secondary antibodies for immunofluorescence
FPbase: Fluorescent protein database with sequences, spectra, and other characteristics
