C. elegans is a widely used model organism for studying genetics, neuroscience and reproductive biology. Analyzing its mating provides critical insights into reproductive mechanisms, sex differentiation and behavioral regulation.

Our Services

ØMating Behavior Analysis

We observe and quantify the mating behavior of male and hermaphroditic individuals, and analyze key indicators such as mating cycle, success rate and etc.. Additionally, we evaluate the impact of gene mutations and environmental factors on mating behavior, and help you gain a deeper understanding of reproductive mechanisms and sex regulation.
