Google Chrome browser extension for Caenorhabditis elegans research
This extension provides a tool to offer seamless data retrieval for C. elegans gene data while browsing any site online. Often, it’s convenient to retrieve linkage data or interactome data for a specific C. elegans gene while browsing different webpages or reading journal articles online – this extension provides a frictionless interface for the user to retrieve these data without having to open a new tab and search another website or paper for these data. The extension provides the user with linkage data for C. elegans genes, gene interaction data, human orthology data to C. elegans genes, and also a gene overview using the WormBase (Harris et al. 2014 PMID: 24194605) RESTful API (only this feature requires internet connectivity). The C. elegans Chrome extension takes as input the C. elegans gene common name.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
