Benchmark for Evaluating Biological Image Analysis Tools
Biological images are critical components for a detailed understanding of the structure and functioning of cells and proteins. Image processing and analysis tools increasingly play a significant role in better harvesting this vast amount of data, most of which is currently analyzed manually and qualitatively. A number of image analysis tools have been proposed to automatically extract the image...
متن کاملTools for visual analysis of biological networks
The trend in tools for visualization and analysis of cell pathways is to go beyond small-scale static depictions of pathways and towards large-scale networks capturing cellular dynamics. Such tools attempt to construct pathways automatically and integrate data from large datasets in genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics to give a more meaningful representation of cell activity. We look at te...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of biological rhythm data.
The author has developed an ensemble of digital signal analysis techniques applicable to biological time series containing circadian and ultradian periodicities that is of very high resolution and functions well even in the presence of extreme noise and trend. A method for quantifying the significance, strength, and regularity of the rhythmic process is included. To illustrate these techniques,...
متن کاملStatistical significance in biological sequence analysis
One of the major goals of computational sequence analysis is to find sequence similarities, which could serve as evidence of structural and functional conservation, as well as of evolutionary relations among the sequences. Since the degree of similarity is usually assessed by the sequence alignment score, it is necessary to know if a score is high enough to indicate a biologically interesting a...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Biological Network Data
This paper discusses an area of application that seems somewhat remote from the other application areas of the symposia. The intension is not to dwell on biological and experimental issues, but briefly to introduce the biological background and setting and then move on to discuss aspects of statistical methodology that frequently are applied in the biosciences and elsewhere: Markov chain Monte ...
