name

of C. elegans gene to search for.

data frame of nine columns: Wormbase variant ID, allele name, isoform ID, locations (exon, intron, etc), molecular change (deletion, subsitution, etc), gene effect (missense, nonsense, etc), amino acid change, amino acid position, and associated strain. All empty fields contain NA as a character. If the gene is not found in C. elegans, an empty data frame will be returned.
