N1 - Funding Information:
We thank Claire Whitton (ED), Marian Thomson (ED), Jen Daub (ED), Claire Murphy (GSC) and Brandi Chiapelli (GSC) for their invaluable contributions in making libraries, preparing the clones and undertaking preliminary sequencing, and Mike Dante (GSC) for his role in building and maintaining the NemaGene clusters. The authors acknowledge the support of Bart Barrell (PSU) who helped initiate the project and oversee the sequencing performed at PSU. Work in ED is supported by the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust; the PSU is supported by the Wellcome Trust. J.M. was supported by a Helen Hay Whitney/Merck Postdoctoral Fellowship. EST sequencing at GSC was supported by NIH NIAID research grant AI 46593 to Robert Waterston and by a National Science Foundation Plant Genome award 0077503 to David Bird and Sandra Clifton. We thank our research colleagues who have supplied nematode materials and libraries (Judith Appleton, Prema Arasu, Thomas Baum, David Bird, Bernadette Connolly, Richard Davis, Eric Davis, Lou Gasbarree, Tim Geary, Godelieve Gheysen, Warwick Grant, Richard Grencis, John Hawdon, Doug Jasmer, Vadim Kapulkin, Andrew Kloek, David Knox, Rick Maizels, Thomas Nutman, David Pritchard, Alan Scott, Geert Smant, Ralf Sommer, Mark Viney, Gary Weil, Valerie Williamson and Dante Zarlenga).

N2 - The parasitic nematode expressed sequence tag (EST) project, a collaboration between University of Edinburgh and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK and the Genome Sequencing Center, St Louis, MO, USA, is currently generating sequence information from >30 different species of nematode. Over 400 000 nematode ESTs are now available and at least another 130 000 are planned. Here, an update is provided on the status of the project and describes the database tools being developed to disseminate these data.
