Automatic Classification of Embryonic Fruit Fly Gene Expression Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carefully studied in-situ hybridization Gene expression patterns (GEP) can provide a first glance at possible relationships among genes. Automatic comparative analysis tools are an indispensable requirement to manage the constantly growing amount of such GEP images. We present here an automated processing pipeline for Segmenting, Classification, and Clustering large-scale sets of Drosophila melanogaster GEP images that facilitates automatic GEP analysis.

maximise lifetime reproduction. The aim of the current study is to determine the patterns of gene expression associated with longevity and reproduction in fruit fly. The Drosophila are fed varying ratios of a protein/carbohydrate diet, whole fly RNA is extracted and gene expression is assayed via Affymetrix microarrays, and differentially expressed genes are verified with qRT-PCR. Once candidat...

The fruit fly is an excellent model system for investigating the sequence of epithelial tissue invaginations constituting the process of gastrulation. By combining recent advancements in light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and image processing, the three-dimensional fly embryo morphology and relevant gene expression patterns can be accurately recorded throughout the entire process of emb...
