ThThe roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans, shares most of its fundamental biological pathways with humans, which means that researchers can study these organisms to learn more about human disease. Just like cells, C. elegans can be handled by robotics and used in high-throughput experiments to uncover novel drugs and drug targets. However, researchers have lacked the technology to make measurements on individual worms with image-based tools in a high-throughput manner. To address this problem, researchers from the Ó³»­´«Ã½ and elsewhere developed WormToolbox, available through the Cell Profiler project.
