These scripts convert data from the Berkeley Drosophila Transcription Network Project (BDTNP) to Mathematica format and have been made available for the purpose of scientific reproducibility (see https://github.com/ilsley/qTALE).
If you make use of the data, please cite the original source as appropriate, for example: Fowlkes et al. (2008). A Quantitative Spatiotemporal Atlas of Gene Expression in the Drosophila Blastoderm. Cell 133, 364–374.
Steps:
- Run the Python script. This creates files in the intermediate directory.
- Run the Mathematica script (with Mathematica 10). This creates a Mathematica package file in the final directory. (It takes some time.)
The project has the following directory structure:
| Directory | Content |
|---|---|
| original | The original data downloaded from http://bdtnp.lbl.gov/Fly-Net/bioimaging.jsp?w=releases. |
| intermediate | Files created by the Python script |
| final | The BDTNP Mathematica package file generated by the Mathematica script |
| scripts | The Python and Mathematica scripts |
