Background  The nematode  Caenorhabditis elegans  is widely used for the genetic analysis of neuronal cell biology, development, and behavior. Because traditional methods for evaluating behavioral phenotypes are qualitative and imprecise, there is a need for tools that allow quantitation and standardization of  C. elegans  behavioral assays.    Results  Here we describe a tracking and imaging system for the automated analysis of  C. elegans  morphology and behavior. Using this system, it is possible to record the behavior of individual nematodes over long time periods and quantify 144 specific phenotypic parameters.    Conclusions  These tools for phenotypic analysis will provide reliable, comprehensive scoring of a wide range of behavioral abnormalities, and will make it possible to standardize assays such that behavioral data from different labs can readily be compared. In addition, this system will facilitate high-throughput collection of phenotypic data that can ultimately be used to generate a comprehensive database of  C. elegans  phenotypic information.    Availability  The hardware configuration and software for the system are available from  wschafer@ucsd.edu .
