Data Handling in Biology – the application of computational and analytical methods to biological problems – is a rapidly evolving scientific discipline. Written in a clear, engaging style, Large Scale Data Handling in Biology is for scientists and students who are learning computational approaches to biology. The book covers the data storage system, computational approaches to biological pr…
High-throughput’’ in High Content Screening is relative: although instruments that acquire in the range of 100 000 images per day are already marketed, this is still not comparable to the throughput of classical High Throughput Screening. Assays get more and more complex, consequently assay development times become prolonged. Further, standardization of cell culture conditions is a major ch…
A digital image is a numeric representation (normally binary) of a two-dimensional image. Depending on whether the image resolution is fixed, it may be of vector or raster type. By itself, the term “digital image” usually refers to raster images or bitmapped images. Digital images may be produced in black and white (bitonal), grayscale, or color. Digital images are composed of very small pi…
