چکیده

Recently, proteomics research has become a large growth area in the biosciences. Studies involve differential analysis of large sets of 2-D Electrophoresis (2-DE) gels. We present a robust and accurate 2-DE gel alignment algorithm which combines point matching and local image-based refinement. The algorithm uses a novel combination of Euclidian, shape context, image and feature based attributes to produce a point distance measure. Correspondence is determined using this measure and is further improved using an iterative M-estimation approach, and shown to be robust in the presence of large image distortions. Local image-based refinement is shown to improve significantly alignment accuracy. The high accuracy and robustness of the resulting system indicates that it is a promising method for use in practical gel alignment situations.

Multiresolution image registration for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

In proteomic research, two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D) is an important tool for investigating differential patterns of qualitative and quantitative protein expression. The strength of the technique is due to its unrivalled power of being able to separate simultaneously thousands of proteins. The key to the comparison of 2-D protein profiles, however, lies in the use of a fast and robust i...

Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Image Registration

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is the leading technique to separate individual proteins in biological samples with many biological and pharmaceutical applications, e.g., drug development. The technique results in an image in which the proteins appear as dark spots on a bright background. The analysis of these images is very time consuming and requires a large amount of manual work. ...

New Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor

Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

DDGEL/DDCHIP: Web-Based Systems for Analysis of 2-D Gel Electrophoresis Images and DNA Macro/Micro Array Images

We have been developing a web-based software tool named DDGEL [3] for analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis image data obtained by the RLGS (Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning) method. The RLGS method has been developed in order to detect and analyze the genetic alterations by observing the entire genomic DNA after separating DNA fragments in a single 2-D slab gel [2]. DDGEL ...
