Open source synthetic biology
,----[ Quote ]
| Not everyone within synthetic biology takes the open-source approach, Andrew
| Hessel, an iGEM consultant who recruits teams from Canadian universities,
| told me, but the driving force behind it is iGEM and MIT (Rettberg works with
| renowned hacker-turned-synthetic biologist Tom Knight). Hessel likened the
| atmosphere to the time when computers were first becoming cheap enough to be
| affordable by anyone who wanted one, and young, bright kids began to play
| around with code.

Wndchrm - an open source utility for biological image analysis
,----[ Quote ]
| Methods: Wndchrm is an open source utility for biological image analysis.
|
| The software works by first extracting image content descriptors from the raw
| image, image transforms, and compound image transforms. Then, the most
| informative features are selected, and the images are analyzed.
