NOTE:
-----

This release (WS110) is the second frozen release followed WS100.
It represents a freeze-of-data release and will remain on the Sanger ftp site 
(ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/wormbase) for the foreseeable future.
Also, it will be available from http://ws110.wormbase.org

Bioinformaticians seeking to collaborate and share annotation data against the backdrop of a fixed
genome sequence may consider working with this release.

The next freeze will take place with the release of WS120, approximately in 20 weeks time

Please address any queries to worm <at> sanger.ac.uk

New Data:
---------
- New Briggsae protein set brigpep2

- C.elegans BlastP/X results against brigpep2

  C.elegans ESTs (and Marc Vidal OSTs)
  C.elegans mRNAs
  Other nematode ESTs
  Non-Wormbase GenBank/EMBL C. elegans CDS sequence submissions

New Fixes:
----------

The optimization of BLAT dataset improves identifying scoring best BLAT results for OSTs, ESTs, mRNAs, etc.

Known Problems:
--------------

- Some SNP data and a few transcript objects were missing, and will be fixed     
  in the next regular release.

- Missing sequence features like SL2 and will be included in the next release

Other Changes:
--------------

Proposed Changes / Forthcoming Data:
------------------------------------

- tRNA predictions will be updated using latest tRNASCAN-SE-1.23 for WS112.

-===================================================================================-

Quick installation guide for UNIX/Linux systems
-----------------------------------------------

1. Create a new directory to contain your copy of WormBase,
	e.g. /users/yourname/wormbase

2. Unpack and untar all of the database.*.tar.gz files into
	this directory. You will need approximately 2-3 Gb of disk space.

3. Obtain and install a suitable acedb binary for your system
	(available from www.acedb.org).

4. Use the acedb 'xace' program to open your database, e.g.
	type 'xace /users/yourname/wormbase' at the command prompt.

5. See the acedb website for more information about acedb and
	using xace.

Our next dates are.......

During the last 11 years we have been successfully presenting our training
seminars in the UK. We have now decided to let the rest of the world have a
chance! 
Listed here are the 3 seminars that we will be presenting in various
locations around the world between now and March 2004.
 For further info please send us your details and we will send our
information pack by return.

1 - Selling for Engineers - One-day Seminar

The Selling for Engineers seminar is a good introduction to effective sales
principles for people who are new to selling, and also a useful refresher
for 'old hands'.  It applies to selling both technical products and
intangible services.

Many Sales Engineers have been learning the technical skills of their job
for years but have had little formal training in selling.  This course
helps correct that imbalance.  
Typical job titles of delegates: Sales Engineer, Account Executive and
Business Development Manager.

2 - Telephone Sales Prospecting for Engineers - One-day Workshop

This event is a practical workshop teaching people in technical companies
how to find new customers on the phone.  It is applicable to business
development for both tangible products and intangible services.  The first
session addresses whom to target, what to say and how to handle problems. 
The remainder of the day consists of live sales calls with coaching from
Robert Seviour; the objective being to give delegates some positive
experiences of prospecting, make sales appointments and maybe sell
something!

Please note that this telephone sales prospecting event is restricted to a
maximum of six delegates to permit individual coaching.

3 - Closing Techniques Workshop - One day workshop

What if the customer says:
"	"          'It's too expensive'
"	"          'We're happy with our present supplier'
"	"          'I want to think about it'

Can you handle these common objections?
By far the most efficient way to be more profitable is to turn more of the
enquiries you receive into paid orders.  For this, the ability to resolve
objections is critical - either you close or you lose the sale.
And if you answer 'How much discount will you give me?' with: 'I'll ask my
boss', you waste profit, which could be yours with a better reply.

In only a day I will teach you techniques which overcome these objections
and more. You will be able to use them immediately to win profitable orders.

There is no need to lose business to your competitors or give big
discounts. 

 
If you have never had any formal sales training or need a refresher, don't
continue to work at a disadvantage. 

All courses are from 9am until 5pm and cost £300 per person per day

Reservations and information
Please contact Sue on: 

Tel:  +44(0)1481 720 294     Fax: +44(0)1481 720 317

If sales training is not an issue for your company please reply to this
email with the word "DELETE" in the subject line.     We will remove your
details promptly.

New Data:
---------
Worm proteins and DNA sequences have been BLAST searched against a new refined set of yeast proteins from 
SGD which is smaller than before (many spurious ORFs removed).

Also new set of IPI human proteins have been BLAST searched against worm protein and DNA sequences.

New Fixes:
----------
Problems with disappearing SNP data finally sorted out.

Some tRNAs were incorrectly connected to their parent sequence, they have now been fixed.

Known Problems:
--------------
Some problems with BLATX homologies (C. elegans DNA vs other nematode ESTs), under investigation

Some problems with badly mapped SNPs, work in progress to fix this

Other Changes:
--------------

Proposed Changes / Forthcoming Data:
------------------------------------
We will store GenBank GI numbers and cross reference them to our sequence objects so that you can navigate
between EMBL protein IDs and GenBank GI numbers.

New updated set of tRNA predictions will be included in WS112, these have been generated with the latest
version of tRNA-scanSE and will mean small changes to some of our existing predictions (mostly small changes
to start or end coordinates).

Planned changes to WormBase front page.  We are currently discussing whether to add more items to the WormBase
front page to better highlight new/interesting data in each new database release.  E.g. 'click to see
list of new CGC worm-related papers included in database since last build'.  If you have ideas for what you
would (or wouldn't!) like to see on our front page we would be interested in your opinions, please email us at
wormbase-help <at> wormbase.org
