SwimR: A Suite of Analytical Tools for Quantification of C.
elegans Swimming Behavior
Description
SwimR is an R-based suite that calculates, analyses, and
plots the frequency of C. elegans swimming behavior over time.
It places a particular emphasis on identifying paralysis and
quantifying the kinetic elements of paralysis during swimming.
Data is input to SwipR from a custom built program that fits a
5 point morphometric spine to videos of single worms swimming
in a buffer called Worm Tracker.
