Fly Brain Neuron Stereotyping

The stereotyping of neurons in a fly brain. The red and green are neurons of two different fly brains (the same line) whose membranes were mCD8-stained by Julie Simpson. See a complete, higher-resolution movie in 3D (Unpublished data. All rights reserved.). I register the whole fly brains and map the neurons in 3D at Janelia Farm.


Worm straightening scheme

Standardize 3D C. elegans image stacks by straightening the worm body. I developed worm backbone detection methods and then generated the 1-pixel spaced cutting planes to optimally reconstruct the entire worm body stack. This technique is one of the critical steps in our project in building the entire digital cell atlas for developing C. elegans. For more information, read a new Bioinformatics paper here and try a demo Matlab program for the key algorithm. BTW, don't get confused by the above animation: a C. elegans worm does not have eyes!

Animation of computationally reconstructed 3D development time series of gene ftz (fushi tarazu) (above) and snail (below) in fly embryos, without 3D live imaging. You can find more information in this poster at 2005 Fly Meeting. (Unpublished data. All rights reserved.)


MSTCUT for fly image clustering
MSTCUT clustering of fly gene expression patterns in the eigen-embryo space. Read the ISBI2006 paper on the MinMaxPartition MSTCUT method for image clustering and the RECOMB2004 paper on hybrid Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to retrieve genes that have similar expression pattern images.

mRMR feature selection
Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) gene selection scheme which is promising in detecting highly discriminant gene markers for cancer classification and is very efficient in optimizing the Max-Dependency/Min-Error feature selection criterion. Read a theory-paper on IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2005), and a result-paper on Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (2005). You can run the program here.

BMA for brain images
Automatical detection of brain regions in 3D MR images corresponding to clinical function deficits such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease. Read the Bayesian Morphometry paper in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging (2004) and an application study for real MCI data.
