Straightening Caenorhabditis elegans images
MOTIVATION Caenorhabditis elegans, a roundworm found in soil, is a widely studied model organism with about 1000 cells in the adult. Producing high-resolution fluorescence images of C.elegans to reveal biological insights is becoming routine, motivating the development of advanced computational tools for analyzing the resulting image stacks. For example, worm bodies usually curve significantly ...

Motivation: C. elegans, a roundworm found in soil, is a widely studied model organism with about 1000 cells in the adult. Producing high-resolution fluorescence images of C. elegans to reveal biological insights is becoming routine, motivating the development of advanced computational tools for analyzing the resulting image stacks. For example worm bodies usually curve significantly in images. ...

Transparent, free-living nematode worm. Unsegmented body plan with full set of differentiated tissues (neural, endoderm, ectoderm and muscle). Genome size approximately 97 Mb, as five autosomes and one X sex chromosome. Fully sequenced genome, which comprises approximately 20 000 predicted genes. Defined cell lineage. Has made major contribution to studies of development, cell-to-cell signallin...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans
The complete structure of the anterior sensory nervous system of the small nematode C . elegans has been determined by reconstruction from serial section electronmicrographs. There are 58 neurons in the tip of the head. Fiftytwo of these are arranged in sensilla. These include six inner labial sensilla, six outer labial sensilla, four cephalic sensilla and two amphids. Each sensillum consists o...
متن کاملNeurogenetics, in Caenorhabditis elegans
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and beautiful organ. It has one hundred billion neurons and an inestimable number of synaptic connections. Since there are very few opportunities to ethically test experimental hypotheses on the human brain, we rely on model organisms to understand how neurons work in humans. Such an organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with a total of onl...
