Behavior & Morphology Analysis

Our C. elegans behavior and morphology analysis platform measures 26 individual characteristics of the morphology and movement patterns of individual animals. This is a deep phenotypic characterization that is well suited to later analysis using sophisticated machine learning techniques.

Age-matched animals from at least two different groups are compared. The animals are recorded during crawling or swimming. The software identifies individual animals and quantifies many aspects of behavior, including:

Morphology (length, width, area, wavelength)
Movement (forward & reversal speed)

Data Only: A spreadsheet report including the quantification of the 26 analyzed features
Data interpretation: A report analyzing differences between the two groups with statistical software and PCA analysis

Teasing out subtle phenotypes in the behavior and morphology of genetic mutants and/or chemically treated animals.

Quantified differences in area and forward speed for 7 different genotypes of C. elegans modeling point mutations in STXBP1, a gene important for epilepsy.
