ImagePlane: An Automated Image Analysis Pipeline for High-Throughput Screens Using the Planarian Schmidtea mediterranea
ImagePlane is a modular pipeline for automated, high-throughput image analysis and information extraction. Designed to support planarian research, ImagePlane offers a self-parameterizing adaptive thresholding algorithm; an algorithm that can automatically segment animals into anterior-posterior/left-right quadrants for automated identification of region-specific differences in gene and protein ...
متن کاملA premeiotic function for boule in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.
Mutations in Deleted in Azoospermia (DAZ), a Y chromosome gene, are an important cause of human male infertility. DAZ is found exclusively in primates, limiting functional studies of this gene to its homologs: boule, required for meiotic progression of germ cells in invertebrate model systems, and Daz-like (Dazl), required for early germ cell maintenance in vertebrates. Dazl is believed to have...
متن کاملAmmonia excretion in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.
In aquatic invertebrates, metabolic nitrogenous waste is excreted predominately as ammonia. Very little is known, however, of the underlying mechanisms of ammonia excretion, particularly in freshwater species. Our results indicate that in the non-parasitic freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, ammonia excretion depends on acidification of the apical unstirred layer of the body surface an...
متن کاملRNAither, an automated pipeline for the statistical analysis of high-throughput RNAi screens
SUMMARY We present RNAither, a package for the free statistical environment R which performs an analysis of high-throughput RNA interference (RNAi) knock-down experiments, generating lists of relevant genes and pathways out of raw experimental data. The library provides a quality assessment of the signal intensities, as well as a broad range of options for data normalization, different statisti...
متن کاملNeoblast Specialization in Regeneration of the Planarian Schmidtea mediterranea
Planarians can regenerate any missing body part in a process requiring dividing cells called neoblasts. Historically, neoblasts have largely been considered a homogeneous stem cell population. Most studies, however, analyzed neoblasts at the population rather than the single-cell level, leaving the degree of heterogeneity in this population unresolved. We combined RNA sequencing of neoblasts fr...
