easyXpress: An R package to analyze and visualize high-throughput C. elegans microscopy data generated using CellProfiler.

High-throughput imaging techniques have become widespread in many fields of biology. These powerful platforms generate large quantities of data that can be difficult to process and visualize efficiently using existing tools. We developed easyXpress to process and review C. elegans high-throughput mi...
