Summary

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

Worm-align/Worm_CP is a simple FIJI/CellProfiler workflow that can be used to straighten and align Caenorhabditis elegans samples and to score whole-worm image-based assays without the need for prior training steps. We have applied Worm-align/Worm_CP to the quantification of heat-shock induced expression in live animals or lipid droplets in fixed samples.
