FANC (pronounced "fancy") is the Female Adult Nerve Cord, a GridTape-TEM dataset of an adult Drosophila melanogaster's ventral nerve cord. The EM dataset was first published in Phelps, Hildebrand, Graham et al. 2021 Cell, after which we applied automated methods for reconstructing neurons, synapses, and nuclei to accelerate reconstruction of the ventral nerve cord connectome, as described in Connectomic reconstruction of a female Drosophila ventral nerve cord (Azevedo, Lesser, Phelps, Mark et al. 2024 Nature). We now oversee a collaborative effort including over 20 labs to finish the FANC connectome by manually correcting the remaining errors in the automated reconstructions. As of April 2024, about half of the neurons in FANC have been proofread.
