ACeDB, "A C elegans database", was written by Richard
Durbin and Jean Thierry-Mieg as part of the C elegans
genome mapping and sequencing project. This hugely successful
genome database program has replaced the paper versions of the
genetic and physical maps in many (most?) C elegans
labs. In addition, the ACeDB database engine has become the
standard for other genomic mapping projects.
4D microscopy is the study of three-dimensional specimens as
they grow or change over time. The IMR has
developed a suite of free software applications which allow
researchers to perform 4D studies using inexpensive and common
Macintosh computers.
The Angler software was written by Clive Brown and is used for
viewing images of C. elegans embryos. (Either Nomarski images
or 3-D images can be viewed.)
