Morphological Analysis Services

C. elegans is an excellent model organism widely used in developmental biology and molecular genetics research. Through multiple moltings, it develops into an adult with distinct organs and a complete body structure. Certain drug treatments and environmental exposures may affect the growth and development of individuals. By evaluating body shape, length and width, researchers can gain insights into growth patterns, genetic variation, and environmental impacts, providing strong support for research in related fields.

Our Services

Our services include but are not limited to:

ØBody Shape Analysis

Our body size analysis service measures and analyze the nematode's side profile to obtain precise body size data.

ØBody Length and Width Analysis

By measuring and recording the length-to-width ratio of C. elegans, we provide detailed information on growth, proportions, and the effects of drugs or environmental exposures on development. This data reflects morphological changes across different life stages, aiding studies on growth regulation and developmental mechanisms.
