Metadata matters: access to image data in the real world

TLDR
An open standard format for multidimensional microscopy image data is described and it is called on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats.
Abstract
Data sharing is important in the biological sciences to prevent duplication of effort, to promote scientific integrity, and to facilitate and disseminate scientific discovery. Sharing requires centralized repositories, and submission to and utility of these resources require common data formats. This is particularly challenging for multidimensional microscopy image data, which are acquired from a variety of platforms with a myriad of proprietary file formats (PFFs). In this paper, we describe an open standard format that we have developed for microscopy image data. We call on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats. This will build the foundation for an open image data repository.

Floxed exon (Flexon): A flexibly positioned stop cassette for recombinase-mediated conditional gene expression

TL;DR: The Floxed exon (Flexon) approach is described, which uses a stop cassette composed of an artificial exon flanked by artificial introns, designed to cause premature termination of translation and nonsense-mediated decay of the mRNA and allowing for flexible placement into a gene.

Functional imaging and quantification of multineuronal olfactory responses in C. elegans

TL;DR: The integrated activity of the sensory periphery of C. elegans contains sufficient information to robustly encode the intensity and identity of a broad panel of odorants, and describes the unique contribution of each sensory neuron to an ensemble-level olfactory code.
