For modelling the growth of shapes. |
GFtbox is an implementation of the Growing Polarised Tissue Framework for understanding and modelling the relationship between gene activity and the growth of shapes such leaves, flowers and animal embryos (PLoS Computational Biology, in press). The GPT-framework was used to capture an understanding of (to model) the growing Snapdragon flower. The Snapdragon model was validated by comparing the results with new mutant flowers. The icon shows an asymmetrical outgrowth. Conceptually, it is specifed by two independent patterns under genetic control: a pattern of growth and a pattern of direction organisers. The outgrowth arises from a region of extra overall growth and growth is aligned along axes set by the interaction of a background polariser and a source of polariser generated by an organiser that came to be the tip of the outgrowth. |
VolViewer

VolViewer makes extensive use of OpenGL and Qt. It is open-source and is compatible with the Open Microscopy Environment (OME). |
Open source systems to which we contribute
OMERO

Open Microscopy Environment Remote Objects (OMERO). for visualising, managing, and annotating scientific image data. See also our OMERO Workshop training course we ran in April 2011. |
Tools and Utilities
BioformatsConverter
