    Study Notes

    Image Analysis in Astrophysics and Biology

    • Softwares developed in astrophysics can be applied to biological problems and vice versa.
    • Source Extractor software can be used to detect vesicles within individual cells.

    Object Detection and Feature Extraction

    • Vesicle detection involves segmentation of objects within individual cells.
    • Features extracted from objects include:
      • Position
      • Intensity
      • 2nd order moment
      • 2D gaussian fits
      • Elongation
      • Ellipsoidy
      • Angle

    Data Representation and Analysis

    • A population of cells can be represented as a matrix, with each cell containing a matrix of organelles and their features.
    • Each organelle has multiple features, resulting in a huge amount of data.
    • Spatial statistics and measurements are used to study and quantify this data.

    Clustering and Network Analysis

    • Features are used as vectors to cluster genes based on similarities.
    • Cluster diagrams can be visualized as networks, representing functional modules.
    • Genes with similar loss-of-function feature vectors can be connected in networks.

    Gene Perturbation and Interaction Mapping

    • Single gene perturbation involves altering the expression or function of a single gene.
    • Double gene perturbation involves altering the expression or function of two genes.
    • Gene interaction mapping is used to study the effects of combined mutations in yeast.

    Synthetic Lethality and Signaling Pathways

    • Synthetic lethality refers to the synthetic effect of two perturbations.
    • The concept is demonstrated through examples of signaling pathways and gene knockout.

    Functional Gene Annotations and Screen Clustering

    • Functional gene annotations are performed per assay cluster.
    • Individual screens (assays) measure the level of activity of 1132 genes compared to the control.
    • Genes are highlighted in red or blue based on their activity levels upon knockdown.
    • Screen clustering is based on similar profiles, with genes regulating pathways in different ways.
