Description of the biological application

The image set can be used to functionally annotate the genes through comparing their overexpression morphological profiles.

Images

Images from five fluorescent channels were captured at 20x magnification on an ImageXpress Micro epifluorescent microscope (Molecular Devices). Nine sites per well were acquired, with laser based autofocus using the DAPI channel at the first site of each well. Each image channel was then stored as a separate, grayscale image file in 16-bit TIF format.

BBBC037 dataset

Ground truth 

Each gene is annotated with its biological pathway, generated by domain experts at our institution.

Description of columns:

  • Metadata_broad_sample: Internal Broad ID of the ORF
  • Metadata_moa: Pathway that the gene is involved in
  • Gene Allele Name: Gene and allele symbols
