http://cellprofiler.org

Software tool to enable biologists without training in computer vision or programming to quantitatively measure phenotypes from thousands of images automatically. It counts cells and also measures the size, shape, intensity and texture of every cell (and every labeled subcellular compartment) in every image. It was designed for high throughput screening but can perform automated image analysis for images from time-lapse movies and low-throughput experiments. CellProfiler has an increasing number of algorithms to identify and measure properties of neuronal cell types.

https://reactome.org/

Open source relational database of signaling and metabolic molecules and their relations organized into biological pathways and processes. Core unit of Reactome data model is the reaction. Entities (nucleic acids, proteins, complexes, vaccines, anti-cancer therapeutics and small molecules) participating in reactions form network of biological interactions and are grouped into pathways including classical intermediary metabolism, signaling, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis and disease. External domain expert provides expertise, curator formalizes it into database structure, and external domain expert reviews representation. System of evidence tracking ensures that all assertions are backed up by primary literature. Website is designed to give the user graphical map of known biological processes and pathways that is also an interface. Database and website enable to find, organize, and utilize biological information to support data visualization, integration and analysis.
