A Molecular Atlas of <em>C. Elegans</em> (IMAGE)
Caption
Each cell of a developing nematode worm embryo is catalogued at the molecular level in a new paper out in Science. In this visualization of the dataset, each dot represents a single cell, its color represents the age of the embryo it came from (orange=early, green=mid, blue/red=late), and the dots are arranged so that cells with similar transcriptomes are near each other. Visualized this way, the data form various thin "trajectories" that correspond to tissues and individual cell types.
