WormBase Get Phenotypes

Get phenotype annotations for a C. elegans gene from WormBase. Returns observed phenotypes (from RNAi, mutation, transgene experiments), phenotypes not observed, and total counts. Phenotype data uses the WormBase Phenotype Ontology (WPO). Example: WBGene00006763 (unc-26) has 125+ observed phenotypes including locomotion defects, synaptic vesicle recycling abnormalities, and pharyngeal pumping defects.
