A CellProfiler Approach to Analyzing Tissue Data

Kyle Karhohs Imaging tissue slices provides a wealth of data about the spatial composition and number of the various cell types that make up a tissue. Interactions among cells within a tissue are crucial to understanding the role of the inflammation that is triggered by the invasion of cancerous...

Data Sharing

Collaborators are expected to provide high­ quality, appropriately consented DNA samples from patients and family members. The consent form signed by subjects must include language regarding secondary use, data sharing, and deposition into controlled access databases. Matchmaker Exchange The...

Sequencing

Accepted samples are sequenced at the Broad’s Genomics Platform. After sequencing and processing completes, our project management team will send a notification and reminder to enter in phenotype information. This will be a required step before data can be loaded onto our seqr platform. Once data is...

Announcing CellProfiler 3.1.9

Beth Cimini Hello all! It’s been a crazy last few months for the CellProfiler team, as we’ve been hiring some new members to the team and working hard on the transition to Python 3, which will bump us into CellProfiler version 4. Keep your eyes peeled for exciting content in the future! We did want...

Benefits to collaborators

The Center will provide exome and/or whole­ genome sequencing at no cost to the collaborator for affected cases and relatives. This centralized service will offer high­ quality sequencing and analysis at the Broad Institute, incorporating discovery of all classes of variation (including copy number...

Data Access

All sequencing data produced by the Broad Institute will be made available to collaborators on request. The CMG will make the following data accessible: Array data Acess to array data (if generated for your samples) will be granted via Aspera. Sample BAMs VCF file containing all samples in cohort...

Disease area of focus

Retinal Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are characterized by progressive dysfunction and death of rod and cone photoreceptor cells, leading to vision loss, and are one of the most genetically diverse groups of inherited disorders. Identifying the genetic cause of patients’ IRD has become...

When To Say ‘Good Enough’

Beth Cimini One of the most common questions I’m asked when helping a collaborator with an image analysis project is: “How do I know when my analysis workflow is doing well enough at finding the objects or measuring the things I care about?” Unfortunately, it’s also one of the hardest questions to...
