Data and code for "Cell shape characterization, alignment and comparison using FlowShape"

<strong>Code</strong> This folder contains a snapshot of the FlowShape Python package at the time of paper submission. The latest version is available at: https://bitbucket.org/pgmsembryogenesis/flowshape/ <strong>Data</strong> Contain 3D meshes of <em>C. elegans</em> early embryo cells, in Wavefront .obj format. Each filename has three parts sepparated by underscores Embryo identifier Cell name Timestep For example: <code>wt13_ABar_18</code> Embryo = wt13 Cell = ABar Timestep = 18 The timesteps are frames from the original timelapse, where one frame corresponds to 90 seconds. The starting point is arbitrary, so time is aligned by EMS division. Embryo labels: <code>7cell01-7cell07</code>: 7 wild-type embryos imaged only around the seven-cell stage. <code>wt01-wt19</code>: 19 wild-type embryos imaged for a longer time. <code>dshmig01-dshmig07</code>: 7 dsh-2 / mig-5 RNAi knockdown embryos, imaged around seven-cell stage. <code>cell_filters.csv</code> is a CSV file containing identifiers of embryos left out of the analysis because of automatically detected errors. Further, wt06 was also left out because of problems with labeling the cells.
