OpenWorm

OpenWorm is a collaborative project that aims to create a detailed computer model of the Caenorhabditis elegans worm, a tiny transparent nematode. By mapping its structure and functions, researchers can better understand how biological systems work at the cellular and neural levels. This digital representation allows scientists to simulate and study behaviors and processes without needing physical experiments, advancing knowledge in neuroscience, genetics, and developmental biology. OpenWorm promotes open access and shared scientific progress, helping to illuminate the complex principles underlying living organisms.
