<p>Have you checked on <a href="https://wormbase.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WormBase</a>? That's the main repository for c. elegans data. I don't know that they have connectome data, but if they exist, that's where they will be stored.</p>

<p>I found that there are a couple of projects that allow the user to simulate the neural system of <em>C elegans</em>, for example OpenWorm one update being <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6158223/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>I don't know how to navigate sources in bioinformatics and thus struggle to evaluate their quality.</p>
<p><strong>Question</strong> Are there any fundamental / most widely accepted data sources for raw data of C Elegans connectome or electron microscope scans of this organism, similar to Human Genome Project? If not, what are the ways to derive the data?</p>

I found that there are a couple of projects that allow the user to simulate the neural system of *C elegans*, for example OpenWorm one update being [here](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6158223/).

I don't know how to navigate sources in bioinformatics and thus struggle to evaluate their quality.

**Question** Are there any fundamental / most widely accepted data sources for raw data of C Elegans connectome or electron microscope scans of this organism, similar to Human Genome Project? If not, what are the ways to derive the data?

Have you checked on [WormBase](https://wormbase.org/)? That's the main repository for c. elegans data. I don't know that they have connectome data, but if they exist, that's where they will be stored.
