Strain collection and curation

The strains, their genotypes and the collection records come from the Félix lab at IBENS (Institut de Biologie de l'École Normale Supérieure, PSL, Paris), whose work is centred on nematode evolution.

Wild isolate sampling

The wild isolates were collected in the course of the worldwide sampling of Caenorhabditis and Oscheius, from soil and from the rotting flowers, fruits and stems in which these nematodes live.

Database and hosting

Corrections and additions to the strain records are welcome: write to the strain collection and the curator of the database will update the record.
