Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans)

Exactly 1033 somatic cells on male, 959 on hermaphrodite, every time, counted as of 2020. A beauty.

Exactly 131 commit apoptosis in the hermaphrodite.

www.wormatlas.org/celllineages.html contains the full lineage as some huge and impossible to view images. This image was taken directly from The embryonic cell lineage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans where it is split across many pages, it is a thing of beauty on the PDF.

www.wormatlas.org/celllistsulston.htm contains a non-hierarchical table with the cells and their names.

A collection of closely related and curated C. elegans datasets.

This contains the C. elegans connectome.

The browseable thing is this massive interactive PDF: wormwiring.org/papers/Interactive-Diagram.pdf. It lists neurons from the C. elegans cell lineage using the standard cell names, and how they connect to each other. Some make a surprising ammount of connections.

Fantastic resouce that contains cross sections of C. elegans at various lengths of its body. Presumably frozen and cut with a Microtome and then scanned with electron microscopy.

Shame that there are so many parts missing.

It's the Visible Human Project, but for C. elegans!

TODO what does it contain. Does it have metabolic pathways?

This one has a 3D model of C. elegans containing all the cells, browsable on the browser at: browser.openworm.org/.

Whole organism simulation of C. elegans.

High level simulation only, no way to get from DNA to worm! :-) Includes:

3D body viewer at: browser.openworm.org/ TODO can you click on a cell to get its name?
