Mineotaur: a tool for high-content microscopy screen sharing and visual analytics

Genome Biol. 2015 Dec 17:16:283. doi: 10.1186/s13059-015-0836-5.

Abstract

High-throughput/high-content microscopy-based screens are powerful tools for functional genomics, yielding intracellular information down to the level of single-cells for thousands of genotypic conditions. However, accessing their data requires specialized knowledge and most often that data is no longer analyzed after initial publication. We describe Mineotaur ( http://www.mineotaur.org ), a open-source, downloadable web application that allows easy online sharing and interactive visualisation of large screen datasets, facilitating their dissemination and further analysis, and enhancing their impact.
