Expanding automated gene summaries for and parasitic nematode species in WormBase.

WormBase and the Alliance of Genome Resources provide several types of gene data including annotations to ontology terms and controlled vocabularies. These are used to automatically generate text summaries to give users a cogent view of gene function. However, automated summaries are not available for genes that lack curated annotations. To increase the genome coverage of the summaries in WormBase, we developed a new software module that generates additional gene summaries for and new gene summaries for nine other nematode species: four species ( ), , and four parasitic species ( ).
