We identify an endoderm-restricted organelle in published volume electron microscopy datasets of C. elegans embryos. The organelle consists of a tubular ring surrounding a membrane-bound compartment harboring a prominent dense particle and exhibits a basal polarity and size concordant with canonical gut granules. This finding offers ultrastructural detail to recent evidence that gut granules are bi-lobed organelles with two distinct compartments.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
