| A mouse brain wiring map generated at Allen Institute for Brain Science, and published in Nature in April 2014. |
| A SmartScope microimaging system being built in Peng Lab. This picture was used as the cover art of the 2012 Turning Images to Knowledge conference, Oct 28-31, 2012. |
| A collaboration project of the GAL4 resource with G. Rubin lab. My BrainAligner software (Nature Methods, 2011) is used as a critical element for this study, which is published as cover story of Cell Reports 2012. |
| High-throughput mapping of fruit fly brain circuit based on analyzing tens of thousands of 3D laser scanning microscopy image stacks of the adult Drosophila brain. This picture was used as the cover art of the 2011 Bioimage Informatics conference, Sept 18-21, 2011. Particularly, this work is based on a new 3D image registration method called BrainAligner (Nature Methods, 2011). |
| A neuronal wiring atlas across brain compartments throughout a fruit fly's brain. I developed a pipeline (3D image registration/alignment, neuron tracing, pattern analysis and mining, atlas assembling and modeling) to produce this atlas. This picture was used as the cover art of the 2010 Cold Spring Harbor Neuronal Circuit conference, March 10-13, 2010. Particularly, I first produced a 3D neuronal image-pattern atlas by aligning thousands of 3D laser scanning microscopy image-stacks of fruit fly brains (from about 500 GAL4 lines) by using my BrainAligner system (Nature Methods, 2011); then I produced another 3D atlas of stereotyped (spatially invariant) neurite patterns using my Vaa3D-Neuron system (Nature Biotechnology, 2010). |
| The cover picture of Nature Methods (Sept 2009 issue) highlighting the first single-cell resolution 3D digital nuclear atlas of a post-embryonic worm. This atlas documents cell identity of 357 nuclei as well as their statistics of spatial locations, sizes, etc. This atlas is important for single cell level gene expression analysis (with Liu, Long, et al, Cell, 2009) and automatic cell ablation/stimulation. (Read more about this atlas in our Nature Methods 2009 paper). This atlas can also be conveniently viewed/searched in 3D using my Vaa3D software. Indeed, this cover art was generated using Vaa3D as well. |
| An artistic painting of a 3D reconstructed and rendered neuron model in adult fruit fly brains. You can download a full-size desktop picture here. This neuron was traced (reconstructed) conveniently using my Vaa3D software (published in Nature Biotechnology, 2010), from 3D confocal images of single neurons produced in Gerry Rubin lab. (Unpublished data. All rights reserved.) |
| The cover art of the Proceedings of the 2009 Bioimage Informatics conference. This picture shows two single neuron reconstructions mapped to an adult fruit fly brain atlas model where various brain compartments are also displayed. The techniques used to trace these neurons and to build the digital atlas are implemented in my Vaa3D software. This picture was produced based on 3D confocal images and painted label-field generated in Julie Simpson, Tzumin Lee, and Gerry Rubin labs. Click here to download a desktop wallpaper picture.

The cover art of the Proceedings of the 2008 Conference on Functional Anatomy of the Arthropod Central Complex and Motor System. This picture shows the compartmental atlas of a fruit fly's brain which I produced using the BrainAligner pipeline developed in my lab. The raw image data were produced in Julie Simpson lab. |
Standardize 3D C. elegans image stacks by straightening the worm body. This technique is one of the critical steps in our project in building the entire digital cell atlas for developing C. elegans. For more information, read a new Bioinformatics paper here. BTW, don't get confused by the above animation: a C. elegans worm does not have eyes! |
| MSTCUT clustering of fly gene expression patterns in the eigen-embryo space. Read the ISBI2006 paper on the MinMaxPartition MSTCUT method for image clustering and the RECOMB2004 paper on hybrid Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to retrieve genes that have similar expression pattern images. |
| Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) gene selection scheme which is promising in detecting highly discriminant gene markers for cancer classification and is very efficient in optimizing the Max-Dependency/Min-Error feature selection criterion. Read a theory-paper on IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2005), and a result-paper on Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (2005). You can run the program here. |
