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.
