Behavioral Genetics Service Based on High-Speed Video Tracking of Drosophila

STEMart offers a specialized Behavioral Genetics Service utilizing high-speed video tracking technology to study the genetic basis of behavior in Drosophila (fruit flies). Our laboratory is equipped with advanced video tracking systems that allow for precise, real-time monitoring of Drosophila behavior. These systems enable researchers to observe and quantify a wide range of behaviors such as locomotion, courtship, and social interactions, offering an accurate and efficient platform for studying behavioral genetics.

High-speed video tracking involves the use of specialized cameras and software to capture and analyze the movement and behaviors of Drosophila in detail. This technique provides highly accurate data on fly behavior, allowing researchers to identify subtle behavioral changes due to genetic modifications or environmental influences. It is widely applied in neuroscience, genetics, and behavioral biology to explore the link between genes and behavior, particularly in studies related to neural function, circadian rhythms, and cognitive performance.

Leveraging our expertise in Drosophila genetics and behavioral tracking, we offer a range of services that allow researchers to explore the complex relationship between genes and behavior. Whether you're investigating the effects of genetic mutations or conducting drug screenings, our high-speed video tracking system provides detailed, reproducible data to support your research.
