TLDR
Using low-cost automated tracking microscopes, a behavioral database for 305 Caenorhabditis elegans strains, including 76 mutants with no previously described phenotype are generated, so that phenotypes can be identified and understood by users.Abstract:
Using low-cost automated tracking microscopes, we have generated a behavioral database for 305 Caenorhabditis elegans strains, including 76 mutants with no previously described phenotype. The growing database currently consists of 9,203 short videos segmented to extract behavior and morphology features, and these videos and feature data are available online for further analysis. The database also includes summary statistics for 702 measures with statistical comparisons to wild-type controls so that phenotypes can be identified and understood by users.read more

Probabilistic Models of Larval Zebrafish Behavior: Structure on Many Scales
Robert Evan Johnson,Scott W. Linderman,Thomas Panier,Thomas Panier,Caroline Lei Wee,Erin Song,Kristian J. Herrera,Andrew Miller,Florian Engert +8 more
TL;DR: High spatial resolution video of single zebrafish larvae swimming in a naturalistic environment is collected and models of their action selection across exploration and hunting are developed to evaluate how bout-types and interbout intervals are selected by the fish as a function of its internal hunger state, behavioral history, and the locations and properties of nearby prey.

Biological Dynamics Markup Language (BDML): an open format for representing quantitative biological dynamics data
TL;DR: An open unified format, Biological Dynamics Markup Language (BDML), which provides a basic framework for representing quantitative biological dynamics data for objects ranging from molecules to cells to organisms and will improve the efficiency of development and evaluation of software tools for data visualization and analysis.

Evaluating the power and limitations of genome-wide association studies in Caenorhabditis elegans
TL;DR: An open-source genome-wide association study pipeline called NemaScan is developed and a simulation-based approach is used to provide benchmarks of mapping performance in collections of wild C. elegans strains, providing critical context to pursue quantitative genetic studies using the C. nematodes Natural Diversity Resource.

A direct approach to false discovery rates
TL;DR: The calculation of the q‐value is discussed, the pFDR analogue of the p‐value, which eliminates the need to set the error rate beforehand as is traditionally done, and can yield an increase of over eight times in power compared with the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR method.
