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.

β2-adrenergic stimulation potentiates spontaneous calcium release by increasing signal mass and co-activation of ryanodine receptor clusters.

TL;DR: In this paper, spontaneous calcium release events in green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged RyR2 clusters were analyzed and β2-adrenergic stimulation was shown to increase the fraction of two-and three-cluster sparks.

Analysis of estrogen-regulated enhancer RNAs identifies a functional motif required for enhancer assembly and gene expression

Tim Y. Hou, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the estrogen-regulated eRNA transcriptome was annotated using PRO-cap and RNA sequencing, and a subset of the eRNAs identified, fused them to single guide RNAs, and targeted them to their ERα enhancers of origin using CRISPR/dCas9.
