Computational Tools

Bacteria Segmentation Software:

This tool performs machine-learning-based segmentation and lineage tracking of dense bacterial population using FiJi (ImageJ) as a front-end. This image shows how reliable is the software.

TiFoSi:

TiFoSi (Tissues: Forces and Signaling) simulates the dynamics of epithelial tissues in 2D. TiFoSi includes signaling (e.g. protein expression) and mechanical modules (and feedbacks between them if needed), and allows for different cell populations, configurable cell cycle and cleavage properties, and many more functionalities. TiFoSi uses configuration files that are converted into efficient C++ code.

ANISE:

ANISE (grAphical coNfigurator of TIFOSI In Silico Experiments) is a web-app to easily create/edit the XML configuration files of TIFOSI. ANISE also includes a visual design tool to model gene regulatory interactions. The app can be installed/run locally (any OS) or deployed to a server. As an example of the later, this server is available for users.
