YSMR: a video tracking and analysis program for bacterial motility.

In contrast to existing video tracking software, which either requires expensive computer hardware or only tracks a limited number of bacteria for a few seconds, YSMR is an open-source program which allows the 2-D tracking of several hundred objects over at least 5 minutes on standard computer hardware. The code is freely available at https://github.com/schwanbeck/YSMR.
