Model Organism: Worms Scientific Discussion

Hi Guys!!
I was wondering how can I get the whole proteome of C.elegans (Latest version) in fasta format.
Having tried the worm FTP server, I was confused about how to decide which one is the latest among so many listed there.
and does anyone have an idea how many hypothetical proteins are there in the worm proteome?

Thanks

renu, you can do this quite easily using WormMine. Under Templates, select Species → Protein Sequences, then hit Show Results. It’ll display sample information in the format of a table. Once you click ‘Download’, you can specify your desired format (spreadsheet, FASTA, etc.).

If you click in the species dropdown menu on the name of the worm a.e. C.elegans you will get a species overview page, which includes a “Downloads” section.
There you can find a link to the latest proteome as fasta file.

The WormMine worked, as well as the steps suggested by mh6
