MorphoGraphX
MorphoGraphX is an open source application for the visualization and analysis of 4D biological datasets. Developed by researchers, it is primarily used for the analysis and quantification of 4D live-imaged confocal data. Development of this software contniues as collaboration with the lead developer Richard Smith.
The main research interests adressed by MorphoGraphX are:
- Organ and cell shape extraction
- Growth analysis
- Fluorescence signal quantification
- Protein localization
- Extracting simplified cell geometry for modeling
Principal directions of growth and areal expansion of cells in a tomato shoot apex, extracted from time-lapse confocal microscopy data from Kierzkowski et al. 2012, Science.
MorphoGraphX is currently developed in Richard Smith’s group at the MPIPZ Cologne. The work is supported by:
