Bisque (Bio-Image Semantic Query User Environment) : Store, visualize, organize and analyze images in the cloud. It also allow to run workflows using a set of deployed tools, such as CellProfiler, RootTipMultin Nuclear Tracker, Microtubule tracker etc...

Bisque was developed for the exchange and exploration of biological images.

The Bisque system supports several areas useful for imaging researchers from image capture to image analsysis and querying. The bisque system is centered around a database of images and metadata. Search and comparison of datasets by image data and content is supported. Novel semantic analyses are integrated into the system allowing high level semantic queries and comparison of image content.

• Bisque is free and open-source
• Flexible textual and graphical annotations
• Cloud scalability: PBs of images, millions of annotations
• Distributed storage: local, iRODS, S3
• Integrated image analysis, high-throughput with Condor
• Analysis in MATLAB, Python, Java+ImageJ
• 100+ biological image formats
• Very large 5D images (100+ GB)

OpenImadis stands for Open Image Discovery: A platform for Image Life Cycle Management. It was previously called CID iManage (for Curie Image Database).

No image data conversions, no duplication.

- Uploads data to a secure server in the original format

- Unique id for data

Supports sharing and collaboration with access control

- Allows users to upload, view, update or download data based on their access privileges

Supports multiple ways of attaching meta-information

- Annotations, comments and file attachments

-Analysis results as query-able visual objects

Supports Archiving (data moving to another long-term storage but still searchable)

Facilitates custom visualization and analysis

- Access data from preferred analysis and visualization tools

- Access relevant bits of data to build efficient web and mobile application

Facilitate easy access to analysis and visualization applications hosted on other servers

- Run analysis on dedicated compute clusters

- Access applications hosted and published by other users

Highly Scalable

- Supports on-the-fly addition of server nodes to scale concurrent usage

This notebook uses the rOMERO-gateway and EBImage to process an Image associated to the paper 'Timing of gene expression in a cell-fate decision system'.

The Image "Pos22" is taken from the dataset idr0040-aymoz-singlecell/experimentA/YDA306_AGA1y_PRM1r_Mating. It is a timelapse Image with 42 timepoints separated by 5 minutes. This Image is used to fit a model for the growth of the yeast cells. The notebook does not replicate any of the analysis of the above mentioned paper.

Its purpose is mainly to demonstrate the use of Jupyter, rOMERO-gateway and EBimage.

What it does:

• For each time point of one movie:
  • Read the image for this time point  from the IDR
  • Threshold the images and count the cells using EBimage functions
• Fit an exponential model to the count of cells against time to get a coefficient of grow (exponential factor)

This is a Jupyter notebook demonstrating the run of a code from IDR data sets by loading a CellProfiler Pipeline 

The example here is applied on real data set, but does not correspond to a biological question. It aims to demonstrate how to create a jupyter notebook to process online plates hosted in the IDR.

It reads the plate images from the IDR.

It loads the CellProfiler Pipeline and replace the reading modules used to read local files from this defaults pipeline by module allowing to read data remotely accessible.

It creates a CSV file and displays it in the notebook.

It makes some plot with Matplotlib.

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.
