The Sep. 2010 Caenorhabditis japonica draft assembly was produced by the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) School of Medicine. The UCSC caeJap3 version corresponds to WUSTL version 7.0.1.

### Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the C. japonica genome. Note that the search results may include other organisms in addition to the current genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

succinate-CoA |  | Lists succinate-CoA RefSeq Genes and mRNAs from organisms other than C. japonica
zinc finger |  | Lists many zinc finger mRNAs
kruppel zinc finger |  | Lists only kruppel-like zinc fingers
rand |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by scientist named Rand
