MBF Bioscience Wormlab software

WormLab is worm-tracking software from MBF Bioscience used to quantify the locomotion and behaviour of C. elegans and other nematodes. It has a powerful model-specific tracking algorithm behind a user-friendly interface that collects data about a single worm or multiple worms, even through omega bends, reversals and entanglements.

C. elegans is a common and well-understood model organism used in research fields such as neurodegeneration, genetics, ageing, development and toxicology. The entire C. elegans genome is sequenced, allowing researchers to more easily test their hypotheses.

WormLab allows the user to analyse worm position (frame by frame), centreline points, speed, body area, body wavelength, track length, direction, body-bending angles, head-bending angle, omega bend detection and reversal detection.
