How do we collect and analyze data? An example: arsenic tolerance assay
Arsenic Tolerance Experimental design • Arabidopsis thaliana • 136 DNA targets / mutant lines (T-DNA knockout genes) • 3 replicates • 1 square petri dish per line • 36 seeds per petri dish • 750 µM arsenic • 408 plates in total • 14688 seeds/seedlings (Without counting the concentration tests) Objective: Identification of DNA target candidates showing a significant resistance or sensitivity to high concentration of arsenic. Bioinformatics Analysis. Proxy of germination
Arsenic – Safety • The plates covers can't be removed because of the arsenic toxicity following the rule of the EHS. (McGill Environmental Health and Safety Office) • The covers fog because of the water condensation • High reflection due to the cover and water. Will we be able to classify the seeds?
Arsenic – Image acquisition configuration Fluorescent light 1 frame 1 plate Visible bottom light 4 frames 1 plates 2448 images in total. Visible bottom light 1 frame 1 plate
Arsenic – Image Analysis Pipeline RGB selection raw object list creation McGill development using java, ImageJ libraries and R Object size > 10 px Object circularity > 0.099 d(centroid,squareCenter)<130 Big Object HUE(HSB) 16 colour classification Object properties / features
Arsenic - Clustering 1 2 3 Hierarchical cluster Ward's minimum variance method Euclidean distance matrix Group 2 Group 1 4
Arsenic – Cluster Interpretation 103 Group 2 = Sensitive = Non Germination WT 152 Group 1 = Resistant = Germination
Arsenic - Results 103 152 WT
Arsenic Mutant 152 Mutant 152 = ARS5 is the strongest arsenic resistant mutant identified by Sung et al.
Conclusion • Integrationand contribution of people from different domains have been a key for the success of the MP3. • Integration is also true for the different tools use in the digital phenotyping including hardware, software. • we need to findnew metricsfrom different kind of sensors to increase the spectrum of phenotypes.
