PopulationProfiler: A Tool for Population Analysis and Visualization of Image-Based Cell Screening Data.

Project description:Image-based screening typically produces quantitative measurements of cell appearance. Large-scale screens involving tens of thousands of images, each containing hundreds of cells described by hundreds of measurements, result in overwhelming amounts of data. Reducing per-cell measurements to the averages across the image(s) for each treatment leads to loss of potentially valuable information on population variability. We present PopulationProfiler-a new software tool that reduces per-cell measurements to population statistics. The software imports measurements from a simple text file, visualizes population distributions in a compact and comprehensive way, and can create gates for subpopulation classes based on control samples. We validate the tool by showing how PopulationProfiler can be used to analyze the effect of drugs that disturb the cell cycle, and compare the results to those obtained with flow cytometry.

CropPainter: an effective and precise tool for trait-to-image crop visualization based on generative adversarial networks.

Project description:BackgroundVirtual plants can simulate the plant growth and development process through computer modeling, which assists in revealing plant growth and development patterns. Virtual plant visualization technology is a core part of virtual plant research. The major limitation of the existing plant growth visualization models is that the produced virtual plants are not realistic and cannot clearly reflect plant color, morphology and texture information.ResultsThis study proposed a novel trait-to-image crop visualization tool named CropPainter, which introduces a generative adversarial network to generate virtual crop images corresponding to the given phenotypic information. CropPainter was first tested for virtual rice panicle generation as an example of virtual crop generation at the organ level. Subsequently, CropPainter was extended for visualizing crop plants (at the plant level), including rice, maize and cotton plants. The tests showed that the virtual crops produced by CropPainter are very realistic and highly consistent with the input phenotypic traits. The codes, datasets and CropPainter visualization software are available online.ConclusionIn conclusion, our method provides a completely novel idea for crop visualization and may serve as a tool for virtual crops, which can assist in plant growth and development research.

Direct visualization of microtubules using a genetic tool to analyse radial progenitor-astrocyte continuum in brain.

Project description:Microtubule cytoskeletal dynamics of cortical progenitors and astroglial cells have critical roles in the emergence of normal functional organization of cerebral cortex and in disease processes such as tumorigenesis. However, tools to efficiently visualize these events are lacking. Here we describe a mouse genetic model to efficiently visualize and analyse radial progenitors, their astroglial progeny, and the microtubule cytoskeleton of these cells in the developing and adult brain. Using this tool, we demonstrate altered microtubule organization and capture dynamics in adenomatous polyposis coli-deficient radial progenitors. Further, using multiphoton microscopy, we show the utility of this tool in real-time imaging of astrocytes in living mouse brain and the short-term stable nature of astrocytes in cerebral cortex. Thus, this model will help explore the dynamics of radial progenitor/astrocyte development or dysfunction and the influence of microtubule functions during these events.

GIV: A Tool for Genomic Islands Visualization.

Project description:UnlabelledA Genomic Islands (GI) is a chunk of DNA sequence in a genome whose origin can be traced back to other organisms or viruses. The detection of GIs plays an indispensable role in biomedical research, due to the fact that GIs are highly related to special functionalities such as disease-causing GIs - pathogenicity islands. It is also very important to visualize genomic islands, as well as the supporting features corresponding to the genomic islands in the genome. We have developed a program, Genomic Island Visualization (GIV), which displays the locations of genomic islands in a genome, as well as the corresponding supportive feature information for GIs. GIV was implemented in C++, and was compiled and executed on Linux/Unix operating systems.AvailabilityGIV is freely available for non-commercial use at http://www5.esu.edu/cpsc/bioinfo/software/GIV.

Skittle: a 2-dimensional genome visualization tool.

Project description:BackgroundIt is increasingly evident that there are multiple and overlapping patterns within the genome, and that these patterns contain different types of information--regarding both genome function and genome history. In order to discover additional genomic patterns which may have biological significance, novel strategies are required. To partially address this need, we introduce a new data visualization tool entitled Skittle.ResultsThis program first creates a 2-dimensional nucleotide display by assigning four colors to the four nucleotides, and then text-wraps to a user adjustable width. This nucleotide display is accompanied by a "repeat map" which comprehensively displays all local repeating units, based upon analysis of all possible local alignments. Skittle includes a smooth-zooming interface which allows the user to analyze genomic patterns at any scale.Skittle is especially useful in identifying and analyzing tandem repeats, including repeats not normally detectable by other methods. However, Skittle is also more generally useful for analysis of any genomic data, allowing users to correlate published annotations and observable visual patterns, and allowing for sequence and construct quality control.ConclusionsPreliminary observations using Skittle reveal intriguing genomic patterns not otherwise obvious, including structured variations inside tandem repeats. The striking visual patterns revealed by Skittle appear to be useful for hypothesis development, and have already led the authors to theorize that imperfect tandem repeats could act as information carriers, and may form tertiary structures within the interphase nucleus.

OntoVisT: A general purpose Ontological Visualization Tool.

Project description:UnlabelledOntologies have emerged as a fast growing research topic in the area of semantic web during last decade. Currently there are 204 ontologies that are available through OBO Foundry and BioPortal. Several excellent tools for navigating the ontological structure are available, however most of them are dedicated to a specific annotation data or integrated with specific analysis applications, and do not offer flexibility in terms of general-purpose usage for ontology exploration. We developed OntoVisT, a web based ontological visualization tool. This application is designed for interactive visualization of any ontological hierarchy for a specific node of interest, up to the chosen level of children and/or ancestor. It takes any ontology file in OBO format as input and generates output as DAG hierarchical graph for the chosen query. To enhance the navigation capabilities of complex networks, we have embedded several features such as search criteria, zoom in/out, center focus, nearest neighbor highlights and mouse hover events. The application has been tested on all 72 data sets available in OBO format through OBO foundry. The results for few of them can be accessed through OntoVisT-Gallery.AvailabilityThe database is available for free at http://ccbb.jnu.ac.in/OntoVisT.html.

PyHIST: A Histological Image Segmentation Tool.

Project description:The development of increasingly sophisticated methods to acquire high-resolution images has led to the generation of large collections of biomedical imaging data, including images of tissues and organs. Many of the current machine learning methods that aim to extract biological knowledge from histopathological images require several data preprocessing stages, creating an overhead before the proper analysis. Here we present PyHIST (https://github.com/manuel-munoz-aguirre/PyHIST), an easy-to-use, open source whole slide histological image tissue segmentation and preprocessing command-line tool aimed at tile generation for machine learning applications. From a given input image, the PyHIST pipeline i) optionally rescales the image to a different resolution, ii) produces a mask for the input image which separates the background from the tissue, and iii) generates individual image tiles with tissue content.

Orbit Image Analysis: An open-source whole slide image analysis tool.

Project description:We describe Orbit Image Analysis, an open-source whole slide image analysis tool. The tool consists of a generic tile-processing engine which allows the execution of various image analysis algorithms provided by either Orbit itself or from other open-source platforms using a tile-based map-reduce execution framework. Orbit Image Analysis is capable of sophisticated whole slide imaging analyses due to several key features. First, Orbit has machine-learning capabilities. This deep learning segmentation can be integrated with complex object detection for analysis of intricate tissues. In addition, Orbit can run locally as standalone or connect to the open-source image server OMERO. Another important characteristic is its scale-out functionality, using the Apache Spark framework for distributed computing. In this paper, we describe the use of Orbit in three different real-world applications: quantification of idiopathic lung fibrosis, nerve fibre density quantification, and glomeruli detection in the kidney.

Density Visualization Pipeline: A Tool for Cellular and Network Density Visualization and Analysis.

Project description:Neuron classification is an important component in analyzing network structure and quantifying the effect of neuron topology on signal processing. Current quantification and classification approaches rely on morphology projection onto lower-dimensional spaces. In this paper a 3D visualization and quantification tool is presented. The Density Visualization Pipeline (DVP) computes, visualizes and quantifies the density distribution, i.e., the "mass" of interneurons. We use the DVP to characterize and classify a set of GABAergic interneurons. Classification of GABAergic interneurons is of crucial importance to understand on the one hand their various functions and on the other hand their ubiquitous appearance in the neocortex. 3D density map visualization and projection to the one-dimensional x, y, z subspaces show a clear distinction between the studied cells, based on these metrics. The DVP can be coupled to computational studies of the behavior of neurons and networks, in which network topology information is derived from DVP information. The DVP reads common neuromorphological file formats, e.g., Neurolucida XML files, NeuroMorpho.org SWC files and plain ASCII files. Full 3D visualization and projections of the density to 1D and 2D manifolds are supported by the DVP. All routines are embedded within the visual programming IDE VRL-Studio for Java which allows the definition and rapid modification of analysis workflows.
