+license: mit
+## Introduction
+* DevoGraph is a [GSoC 2025 project](https://neurostars.org/t/gsoc-2025-project-idea-4-openworm-devoworm-devograph-350h/31949) under the administration of [INCF](https://www.incf.org/) and [DevoWorm](https://devoworm.weebly.com/). Our main goal is to provide examples and components that utlize (Temporal/Directed/...) Graph Neural Networks to model the developmental process of *[C. elegans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caenorhabditis_elegans)*.

+
+## Contributions
+### Jiahang Li
+* Design a KNN-based method constructing ****temporal** graphs**. The method is implemented in `./devograph/datasets/datasets.py`. These temporal graphs are based on 3d positions of cell centroids and mimic cell developmental process of *C. elegans*. Each node represents a cell at a certain frame, and edges at the same frame connect neighbors according to KNN while edges across different frames connect mother and daughter cells. Please refer to `./stage_2/stage_2.ipynb` to check more details. 
+* Refactor codes of constructing ****directed** graphs** initially implemented by [cell-track-gnn](https://github.com/talbenha/cell-tracker-gnn). The re-implementation is in `./devograph/datasets/datasets1.py`. This method gives each edge an direction implying the relationship between mother and daughter cells.
+* Refactor codes of a **directed GNN** initially implemented by [cell-track-gnn](https://github.com/talbenha/cell-tracker-gnn). The re-implementation is in `./devograph/models/ct.py`. The GNN is based on directed graphs and incorporates information of nodes and edges to aggregate messages.
+* Both of re-implementations above abstract the core logic, remove redundant and unrelated codes and unnecessary third-party frameworks, and finally provide easy-to-use APIs.
+* Design the whole pipeline of DevoGraph presented in `./miscellaneous/GSoC 2022 22.1.pdf`.
+* Assign tasks to other participants.
+
+### Wataru Kawakami
+* worked on image processing issues (Stage 1).
+
+### Longhui Jiang
+* Refactor codes of pre-processing 2-D images(frames of videos) and converting them into location information of cells stored in .csv files (Stage 1). The re-implementation is based on [cell-track-gnn](https://github.com/talbenha/cell-tracker-gnn). 
+
+### Sushmanth Reddy
+* incorporating DevoLearn models into DevoGraph, particularly for Stage 1.
+
+### Himanshu Chougule
+* developed a customized RNN for creating graph embeddings, building out Topological Data Analysis tools and infrastructure.
+  
+### Mehul Arora
+* developed a Hypergraph model of the embryo.
+
+### Pakhi Banchalia
+* developed applications of k-mapper for Topological Data Analysis and Neural Developmental Programs.
+
+### Lalith Baru
+* continued work on a Hypergraph model of the embryp.
+
+### Jayadratha Gayen
+* developed a temporal graph neural network (T-GNN) approach.
