OpenWorm is an open science project aimed at creating a detailed simulation of the behavior and neural circuits of the Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) nematode, a model organism widely used in biological research. The primary goal of the OpenWorm project is to build a complete virtual model of the organism that can replicate its movements and behaviors based on its biological and neurological properties. C.

A collaborative project for integrating computational descriptions of Caenorhabditis elegans. It makes whole-organism modeling concrete by connecting cellular and physiological components; the project’s scope does not imply that every biological event is already simulated.[ref]
High level simulation only, no way to get from DNA to worm! :-) Includes:
- nervous system
- muscle system
