We present Clinica (www.clinica.run), an open-source software platform designed to make clinical neuroscience studies easier and more reproducible. Clinica aims for researchers to i) spend less time on data management and processing, ii) perform reproducible evaluations of their methods, and iii) easily share data and results within their institution and with external collaborators. The core of Clinica is a set of automatic pipelines for processing and analysis of multimodal neuroimaging data (currently, T1-weighted MRI, diffusion MRI and PET data), as well as tools for statistics, machine learning and deep learning. It relies on the brain imaging data structure (BIDS) for the organization of raw neuroimaging datasets and on established tools written by the community to build its pipelines. It also provides converters of public neuroimaging datasets to BIDS (currently ADNI, AIBL, OASIS and NIFD). Processed data include image-valued scalar fields (e.g. tissue probability maps), meshes, surface-based scalar fields (e.g. cortical thickness maps) or scalar outputs (e.g. regional averages). These data follow the ClinicA Processed Structure (CAPS) format which shares the same philosophy as BIDS. Consistent organization of raw and processed neuroimaging files facilitates the execution of single pipelines and of sequences of pipelines, as well as the integration of processed data into statistics or machine learning frameworks. The target audience of Clinica is neuroscientists or clinicians conducting clinical neuroscience studies involving multimodal imaging, and researchers developing advanced machine learning algorithms applied to neuroimaging data.

Transition from conventional to digital pathology requires a new category of biomedical informatic infrastructure which could facilitate delicate pathological routine. Pathological diagnoses are sensitive to many external factors and is known to be s
ubjective. Only systems that can meet strict requirements in pathology would be able to run along pathological routines and eventually digitized the study area, and the developed platform should comply with existing pathological routines and international standards. Currently, there are a number of available software tools which can perform histopathological tasks including virtual slide viewing, annotating, and basic image analysis, however, none of them can serve as a digital platform for pathology. Here we describe OpenHI2, an enhanced version Open Histopathological Image platform which is capable of supporting all basic pathological tasks and file formats; ready to be deployed in medical institutions on a standard server environment or cloud computing infrastructure. In this paper, we also describe the development decisions for the platform and propose solutions to overcome technical challenges so that OpenHI2 could be used as a platform for histopathological images. Further addition can be made to the platform since each component is modularized and fully documented. OpenHI2 is free, open-source, and available at https://gitlab.com/BioAI/OpenHI.
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is an emerging technology for the 3D visualization of structural organizations and interactions of subcellular components at near-native state and sub-molecular resolution. Tomograms captured by cryo-ET contain hete
rogeneous structures representing the complex and dynamic subcellular environment. Since the structures are not purified or fluorescently labeled, the spatial organization and interaction between both the known and unknown structures can be studied in their native environment. The rapid advances of cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) have generated abundant 3D cellular imaging data. However, the systematic localization, identification, segmentation, and structural recovery of the subcellular components require efficient and accurate large-scale image analysis methods. We introduce AITom, an open-source artificial intelligence platform for cryo-ET researchers. AITom provides many public as well as in-house algorithms for performing cryo-ET data analysis through both the traditional template-based or template-free approach and the deep learning approach. AITom also supports remote interactive analysis. Comprehensive tutorials for each analysis module are provided to guide the user through. We welcome researchers and developers to join this collaborative open-source software development project. Availability: https://github.com/xulabs/aitom
{mu}Manager, an open-source microscopy acquisition software, has been an essential tool for many microscopy experiments over the past 15 years, but is not easy to use for experiments in which image acquisition and analysis are closely coupled. This i
s because {mu}Manager libraries are written in C++ and Java, whereas image processing is increasingly carried out with data science and machine learning tools most easily accessible through the Python programming language. We present Pycro-Manager, a tool that enables rapid development of such experiments, while also providing access to the wealth of existing tools within {mu}Manager through Python.
Imaging methods used in modern neuroscience experiments are quickly producing large amounts of data capable of providing increasing amounts of knowledge about neuroanatomy and function. A great deal of information in these datasets is relatively unex
plored and untapped. One of the bottlenecks in knowledge extraction is that often there is no feedback loop between the knowledge produced (e.g., graph, density estimate, or other statistic) and the earlier stages of the pipeline (e.g., acquisition). We thus advocate for the development of sample-to-knowledge discovery pipelines that one can use to optimize acquisition and processing steps with a particular end goal (i.e., piece of knowledge) in mind. We therefore propose that optimization takes place not just within each processing stage but also between adjacent (and non-adjacent) steps of the pipeline. Furthermore, we explore the existing categories of knowledge representation and models to motivate the types of experiments and analysis needed to achieve the ultimate goal. To illustrate this approach, we provide an experimental paradigm to answer questions about large-scale synaptic distributions through a multimodal approach combining X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy.
Motivation: In this paper we present the latest release of EBIC, a next-generation biclustering algorithm for mining genetic data. The major contribution of this paper is adding support for big data, making it possible to efficiently run large genomi
c data mining analyses. Additional enhancements include integration with R and Bioconductor and an option to remove influence of missing value on the final result. Results: EBIC was applied to datasets of different sizes, including a large DNA methylation dataset with 436,444 rows. For the largest dataset we observed over 6.6 fold speedup in computation time on a cluster of 8 GPUs compared to running the method on a single GPU. This proves high scalability of the algorithm. Availability: The latest version of EBIC could be downloaded from http://github.com/EpistasisLab/ebic . Installation and usage instructions are also available online.
