Metadata


Dataset Description	This data comprises image files used in the analysis of Analysis of Nematode Ventral Nerve Cords Suggests Multiple Instances of Evolutionary Addition and Loss of Neurons by Han et al. (bioRxiv, 2025: doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.20.644414). It is separated into two folders. The first comprise data using DAPI staining to quantify the number of VNC nuclei in diverse nematodes. The second includes dye-filling data of Mononchus aquaticus.
