Atlases and project-wide landmarks

_This dataset contains the MusMorph atlases and project-wide landmarks._ Each stage-specific atlas has a volume (.mnc), surface (.ply), mask (.mnc), segmentations (.mnc, if available), and landmarks (.tag). Any preprocessed image can be registered to these atlases and labelled using the scripts in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/jaydevine/MusMorph/tree/main/Processing). The scripts are designed to run on a compute cluster, as we strongly recommend to parallelize the image registrations. Note that .mnc and .tag files derive from the [MINC Toolkit software](https://bic-mni.github.io/), which runs on Linux and Mac. Various [MINC libraries](http://bic-mni.github.io/man-pages/) can be used to view and analyze these files on the command line. However, it is also possible to view .mnc files in other open-source software, such as 3D Slicer or ImageJ via the Bio-Formats Importer plugin. The .ply surfaces and .tag landmark coordinates can be read into R using the [morpho.tools.GM package](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4673771). The .tag files can also be converted to .fcsv for visualizations in 3D Slicer. The landmark .tag files provided across all other MusMorph datasets are individual files. After downloading these files via BDBag, the user can import all individual .tag files into R for morphometric analyses using the aforementioned morpho.tools.GM package. However, for ease of access, we have also concatenated the landmark coordinates into stage-specific .csv files. These project-wide landmark datasets are available in this repository.
