Automated analysis of long-term grooming behavior in Drosophila using a k-nearest neighbors classifier

Despite being pervasive, the control of programmed grooming is poorly understood. We addressed this gap by developing a high-throughput platform that allows long-term detection of grooming in Drosophila melanogaster. In our method, a k-nearest neighbors algorithm automatically classifies fly behavio...
