Computer assisted assembly of connectomes from electron micrographs: application to Caenorhabditis elegans.

A rate-limiting step in determining a connectome, the set of all synaptic connections in a nervous system, is extraction of the relevant information from serial electron micrographs. Here we introduce a software application, Elegance, that speeds acquisition of the minimal dataset necessary, allowin...
