Creating Detailed Metadata for an R Shiny Analysis of Rodent Behavior Sequence Data Detected Along One Light-Dark Cycle

Automated mouse phenotyping through the high-throughput analysis of home cage behavior has brought hope of a more effective and efficient method for testing rodent models of diseases. Advanced video analysis software is able to derive behavioral sequence data sets from multiple-day recordings. Howev...

description Automated mouse phenotyping through the high-throughput analysis of home cage behavior has brought hope of a more effective and efficient method for testing rodent models of diseases.

In this article, we present a free, open-source software actionable through a web browser (an R Shiny application), which performs an analysis of home cage behavioral sequence data, which is designed to spot differences in circadian activity while preventing p-hacking.
