- Nobel Prize
- Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz and John E. Sulston were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death.
- WormClassroom
- WormClassroom is an education portal for the research model organism Caenorhabditis elegans with information on research and instructional materials.
- WormBase
- A prototype, this web site will eventually contain all the sequences from the worm genome. It will be searchable and cross-referenced to mutations and known expression patterns.
