Abstract: "The Caenorhabditis elegans genome sequence is now complete, fully contiguous telomere to telomere and totaling 100,291,840 bp [BNID 101363]. The sequence has catalyzed the collection of systematic data sets and analyses, including a curated set of 19,735 protein-coding genes with >90% directly supported by experimental evidence and >1300 noncoding RNA genes." P.1652 right column 2nd paragraph: "The identification of the full set of C. elegans protein-coding genes is approaching completion. WormBase (release WS140) (primary source) currently [as of 2005] lists 19,735 genes with 2685 alternative splice forms, bringing the predicted protein count to 22,420 (producing 22,269 unique peptide sequences)."
