Graph of C. elegans Neuron Classes
Original structure of the database:
Connections between cells or cell classes are listed in 3 files:
Albertson_Fig
White_Fig
White_Table
Structure of our database:
name_neurons.txt: similar to the original name_neurons.txt of (1), with the following corrections:
- some classes miss from the original one, but appear in the files named above (e.g. G)
- some cells appear with a name in the files named above different from the original one (e.g. CEPshDL=CEPDL)
- some classes appear with a name in the files named above different from the original one (e.g. m1=M1)
- we put a # at the end of the corrected lines
ellista.txt: two classes are in a raw if there are any connections between them (with no look at the direction nor the type of the connection)
- we left the "-" or the "MUSCLE" classes out from the original database
- the number next to the pair of cells express the number of the found connections in the database
foxamok.txt: this text file contains the connection number (degree) of the classes, ordered by name
foxamok_ordered.txt: contains the degree of the classes, decreasingly ordered by degree
matrixgyarto.py: the script which created "ellista.txt" from the original database (Ce_synapse)
foxamlalo.py: the script which created "foxamok.txt" and "foxamok_ordered.txt" from "ellista.txt"
