This workflow can be ran with data from 3D-SIM showing the centrosomes in order to compare the distribution of diameters of rings (or toroids) of different proteins from the centrioles or the peri centriolar material. It aims to reproduce the results of the Nature Cell Biology Paper Subdiffraction imaging of centrosomes reveals higher-order organizational features of pericentriolar material  from the same data set but with a different analysis method.

It is slightly different from the methods described in the paper itself, where the method was to work on a maximum intensity projection of a 3D-SIM stack, and then to fit circle to the centrioles to estimate the diameters of the toroids.

In this workflow, the images are read from the IDR , then process by thresholding (Maximum entropy auto thresholding with Image J), and processed by Analyze Particles  with different measurement sets, including the bouding box. Then the analysis of diameters and the statistical test are performed using R. All the code and data sets are available, and in the case of this paper have shown a layered organisation of the proteins.

Python/C++ port of the ImageJ extension TurboReg/StackReg written by Philippe Thevenaz/EPFL.

A python extension for the automatic alignment of a source image or a stack (movie) to a target image/reference frame.

A collection of components for super resolution image data:

• Detect Molecules
• Reconstruct Image
• Results table
• Drift correction
• Chromatic correction

This component can be used to find moving foreground features, which can be a powerful way to suppress false background detections in subsequent tracking steps.

set time window, and standard deviations above background for foreground time window should be more than 2x larger than time taken for a feature to traverse a pixel (NB. total window is 2x half-width +1) moving foreground identified by intensity increase relative to background average (i.e. median) for a pixel over a given time window "soft" segmentation, yielding foreground probability related to excess intensity (in standard deviations) over background level crude Anscombe transform applied to data to stabilize the variance

Chainer is a Python-based deep learning framework aiming at flexibility. It provides automatic differentiation APIs based on the define-by-run approach (a.k.a. dynamic computational graphs) as well as object-oriented high-level APIs to build and train neural networks. It also supports CUDA/cuDNN using CuPy for high performance training and inference.
