We present a toolbox for high-throughput screening of image-based Caenorhabditis elegans phenotypes. The image analysis algorithms measure morphological phenotypes in individual worms and are effective for a variety of assays and imaging systems. This WormToolbox is available via the open-source CellProfiler project and enables objective scoring of whole-animal high-throughput image-based assays of C. elegans for the study of diverse biological pathways relevant to human disease.
