https://wiki.med.harvard.edu/SysBio/Megason/GoFigure

GoFigure is a software platform for quantitating complex 4d in vivo microscopy based data in high-throughput at the level of the cell. A prime goal of GoFigure is the automatic segmentation of nuclei and cell membranes and in temporally tracking them across cell migration and division to create cell lineages. GoFigure v2.0 is a major new release of our software package for quantitative analysis of image data. The research focuses on analyzing cells in intact, whole zebrafish embryos using 4d (xyzt) imaging which tends to make automatic segmentation more difficult than with 2d or 2d+time imaging of cells in culture. This resource has developed an automatic segmentation pipeline that includes ICA based channel unmixing, membrane nuclear channel subtraction, Gaussian correlation, shape models, and level set based variational active contours. GoFigure was designed to meet the challenging requirements of in toto imaging. In toto imaging is a technology that we are developing in which we seek to track all the cell movements and divisions that form structures during embryonic development of zebrafish and to quantitate protein expression and localization on top of this digital lineage. For in toto imaging, GoFigure uses zebrafish embryos in which the nuclei and cell membranes have been marked with 2 different color fluorescent proteins to allow cells to be segmented and tracked. A transgenic line in a third color can be used to mark protein expression and localization using a genetic approach that this resource developed called FlipTraps or using traditional transgenic approaches. Embryos are imaged using confocal or 2-photon microscopy to capture high-resolution xyzt image sets used for cell tracking. The GoFigure GUI will provide many tools for visualization and analysis of bioimages. Since fully automatic segmentation of cells is never perfect, GoFigure will provide easy to use tools for semi-automatically and manually adding, deleting, and editing traces in 2d (figures-xy, xz, or yz), 3d (meshes- xyz), 4d (tracks- xyzt) and 4d+cell division (lineages). GoFigure will also provide a number of views into complex image data sets including 3d XYZ and XYT image views, tabular list views of traces, histograms, and scattergrams. Importantly, all these views will be linked together to allow the user to explore their data from multiple angles. Data will be easily sorted and color-coded in many ways to explore correlations in higher dimensional data. The GoFigure architecture is designed to allow additional segmentation, visualization, and analysis filters to be plugged in. Sponsors: GoFigure is developed by Harvard University., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

The goal of this project is to decipher the transcriptional information contained in the extensive cis-acting DNA sequences that direct the patterns of gene expression that underlie animal development. Using the early embryo of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster as a model, these researchers are developing experimental and computational methods to systematically characterize and dissect the complex expression patterns and regulatory interactions already present prior to gastrulation. They have identified 37 principal regulatory factors within this network for initial analysis together with their target genes. Sponsors: This project is chiefly funded by a grant from NIGMS and NHGRI, R01 GM070444. Additional funding comes from grants to Michael Eisen, Sue Celniker, and Bernd Hamann.

http://www.rad.upenn.edu/sbia/braid/braid_web/index.html

Large-scale archive of normalized digital spatial and functional data with an analytical query mechanism. One of its many applications is the elucidation of brain structure-function relationships. BRAID stores spatially defined data from digital brain images which have been mapped into normalized Cartesian coordinates, allowing image data from large populations of patients to be combined and compared. The database also contains neurological data from each patient and a query mechanism that can perform statistical structure-function correlations. The project is developing database technology for the manipulation and analysis of 3-dimensional brain images derived from MRI, PET, CT, etc. BRAID is based on the PostgreSQL server, an object/relational DBMS, which allows a standard relational DBMS to be augmented with application-specific datatypes and operators. The BRAID project is adding operations and datatypes to support querying, manipulation and analysis of 3D medical images, including: * Image Datatypes: BRAID supports a family of 3D image datatypes, each having an abstract type and an implementation type. Abstract types include boolean (for regions of interest), integer, float, vector (for representing morphological changes), tensor (for representing derivatives and standard deviations of vector images) and color. Implementation types at present include line-segment format and voxel array. * Image Operators: BRAID supports addition of images, multiplication (which is interpreted as intersection for boolean images), coercion of an image''s abstract or implementation type to another value, and determination of volumes of regions of interest. * Statistical Operators: A chi-squared test has been added to SQL as an aggregate operator on pairs of boolean values. * Web Interface: A general-purpose Web gateway allows the results of queries that return computed images to be displayed. You can download the BRAID source code 2.0. This version is developed under postgreSQL 7.3.4., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.neurostruct.org

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. A built-in toolbox for the tracing and analysis of neuroanatomy from nanoscale (high-resolution) imaging. It is a project under ongoing development. The name is originating by merging the words Neuron + reconstruct. The working concept is organized in filters applied successively on the image stack to be processed (pipeline). Currently, the focus of the software is the extraction of detailed neuroanatomical profiles from nanoscale imaging techniques, such as the Serial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy (SBFSEM). The techniques applied, however, may be used to analyze data from various imaging methods and neuronal versatility. The underlying idea of Neurostruct is the use of slim interfaces/filters allowing an efficient use of new libraries and data streaming. The image processing follows in voxel pipelines by using the CUDA programming model and all filters are programmed in a datasize-independent fashion. Thus Neurostruct exploits efficiency and datasize-independence in an optimal way. Neurostruct is based on the following main principles: * Image processing in voxel pipelines using the general purpose graphics processing units (GPGPU) programming model. * Efficient implementation of these interfaces. Programming model and image streaming that guarantees a minimal performance penalty. * Datasize-independent programming model enabling independence from the processed image stack. * Management of the filters and IO data through shell scripts. The executables (filters) are currently managed through shell scripts. The application focuses currently in the tracing of single-biocytin filled cells using SBFSEM imaging. : * Extraction of neuroanatomical profiles: 3D reconstrution and 1D skeletons of the imaged neuronal structure. * Complete tracing: Recognition of the full neuronal structure using envelope techniques, thereby remedying the problem of spines with thin necks of an internal diameter approaching the SBFSEM resolution. * Separation (Coloring) of subcellular structures: Algorithms for the separation of spines from their root dendritic stem. * Evaluation and analysis of the imaged neuroanatomy: Calculation of the dendritic and spine membrane''s surface, spine density and variation, models of dendrites and spines
