Computational analysis of crystallization trials.
A system for the automatic categorization of the results of crystallization experiments generated by robotic screening is presented. Images from robotically generated crystallization screens are taken at preset time intervals and analyzed by the computer program Crystal Experiment Evaluation Program (CEEP). This program attempts to automatically categorize the individual crystal experiments int...
متن کاملAutomated Scoring of Crystallization Trials
Recently, the use of robotics and parallel techniques for protein production and crystallization is becoming commonplace among structural genomics initiatives, whose contributions amount to 73% of newly solved structures each year. Despite the strides made in increasing physical experimental throughput, the act of finding just a few crystals among potentially thousands of crystallization experi...
متن کاملTeaching evolution: challenging religious preconceptions.
Teaching college students about the nature of science should not be a controversial exercise. College students are expected to distinguish between astronomy and astrology, chemistry and alchemy, evolution and creationism. In practice, however, the conflict between creationism and the nature of science may create controversy in the classroom, even walkouts, when the subject of evolution is raise...
متن کاملTowards the automated evaluation of crystallization trials.
A method to evaluate images from crystallization experiments is described. Image discontinuities are used to determine boundaries of artifacts in the images and these are then considered as individual objects. This allows the edge of the drop to be identified and any objects outside this ignored. Each object is evaluated in terms of a number of attributes related to its size and shape, the curv...
متن کاملUterus transplantation: how far away from human trials?
Uterus transplantation is being developed as a possible future method to treat uterus factor infertility. This commentary gives an overview of the animal research that has been conducted in preparation for human uterus transplantation. In addition, requirements for further specific research activities within the field are identified. It is our prediction that uterus transplantation will be intr...
