An open-source platform for analyzing and sharing worm-behavior data

Animal behavior is increasingly being recorded in systematic imaging studies that generate large data sets.To maximize the usefulness of these data there is a need for improved resources for analyzing and sharing behavior data that will encourage re-analysis and methodological developments .However, unlike genomic or protein structural data, there are no widely used standards for behavior data.It is therefore desirable to make data available in a relatively raw form so that different investigators can use their own 1 2
