Description

Registration types integrate acquired data (images, electrophysiological recordings, metadata) into unified data structures. Attributes within this structure support subsequent analysis through functions in the modules.

Modules provide distinct data analysis approaches with predefined pipelines. These pipelines transform inputs into approach-specific illustrations and organized pre-processed images, optimized for further quantitative analysis. Modules require specific registration types as inputs.

Utilities offer reusable functions for multidimensional image processing, advanced visualization, and uploading data in specific formats (OIF/OIB, HEKA, etc.).

Installation

Set up a new conda environment with Python 3.9:

conda create -y -n domb -c conda-forge python=3.9
conda acticate domb

From pip

python -m pip install domb

From GitHub

Clone the repo:

git clone -b master [e-mail]:wisstock/domb-tools.git

To install the package, simply navigate to the repository folder and install with pip:

cd DoMB_tools
python -m pip install .

But if you're planning to make changes and work on the source code actively, you might want to consider using the editable mode:

python -m pip install -e .

Borrowed modules

OIF File

Copyright © 2012-2022 Christoph Gohlke

Oiffile is a Python library to read image and metadata from Olympus Image Format files. OIF is the native file format of the Olympus FluoView(tm) software for confocal microscopy.

There are two variants of the format:

• OIF (Olympus Image File) is a multi-file format that includes a main setting file (.oif) and an associated directory with data and setting files (.tif, .bmp, .txt, .pyt, .roi, and .lut).

• OIB (Olympus Image Binary) is a compound document file, storing OIF and associated files within a single file.

B-FRET

Copyright © 2022 Emonet Lab, Kamino et al.,2023

This module is currently not implemented!

This package uses Bayesian inference to generate posterior distributions of FRET signals from noisy measured FRET data. B-FRET, generally applicable to standard 3-cube FRET-imaging data. Based on Bayesian filtering theory, B-FRET implements a statistically optimal way to infer molecular interactions and thus drastically improves the SNR.
