Lineage a C.
elegans Embryonic Development Up to 8-Cell Stage |
 |
| 4D Movie Data Set : Click to download a 4D dataset of this embryo development up to 8-cell stage. The name of the file is "EmbryoCE.zip" which consists 12 tiff files. To unzip the file into VisBio readable files, one can use WinZip (for PC) or Stuffit Expander (for Mac). Tutorial for Stuffit Expander is available here. |
| VisBio: Click to download the program - VisBio to your desktop to lineage the downloaded 4D movie. |
Questions to Get you Thinking: 1. What does the lineage (family tree) look like
