YeastTracker

Participant : Jannis Uhlendorf.

YeastTracker is a software to follow single cells in movies and to quantify fluorescent images based on this tracking. It has been developed for yeast cells, but is also applicable to other cells that have a defined round shape. The software is written in Matlab and uses a circular Hough transform and binary integer programming to detect and follow cells. It allows to quantify the mean fluorescence of each cell as well as the co-localization of two different fluorescent markers. The software is available on request (jannis.uhlendorf@inria.fr).
