线虫秀丽隐杆线虫广泛用于神经细胞生物学、发育和行为的遗传分析。由于评估行为表型的传统方法是定性的且不精确,因此需要能够对线虫行为测定进行定量和标准化的工具。在这里,我们描述了用于自动分析线虫形态和行为的跟踪和成像系统。使用该系统,可以长时间记录单个线虫的行为并量化 144 个特定表型参数。这些表型分析工具将为各种行为异常提供可靠、全面的评分,并使测定标准化成为可能,以便可以轻松比较来自不同实验室的行为数据。此外,该系统将促进表型数据的高通量收集,最终可用于生成线虫表型信息的综合数据库。该系统的硬件配置和软件可从 wschafer@ucsd.edu 获取。
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is widely used for the genetic analysis of neuronal cell biology, development, and behavior. Because traditional methods for evaluating behavioral phenotypes are qualitative and imprecise, there is a need for tools that allow quantitation and standardization of C. elegans behavioral assays. Here we describe a tracking and imaging system for the automated analysis of C. elegans morphology and behavior. Using this system, it is possible to record the behavior of individual nematodes over long time periods and quantify 144 specific phenotypic parameters. These tools for phenotypic analysis will provide reliable, comprehensive scoring of a wide range of behavioral abnormalities, and will make it possible to standardize assays such that behavioral data from different labs can readily be compared. In addition, this system will facilitate high-throughput collection of phenotypic data that can ultimately be used to generate a comprehensive database of C. elegans phenotypic information. The hardware configuration and software for the system are available from wschafer@ucsd.edu.
