Biological Imaging Data Management for Life Scientists

New

The Open Microscopy Environment (OME) is an open-source software project that develops tools that enable access, analysis, visualization, sharing and publication of biological image data.

OME has three components:

• OME-TIFF, standardised file format and data model;
• Bio-Formats, a software library for reading proprietary image file formats; and
• OMERO, a software platform for image data management and analysis.

In this one day course, we will present the OMERO platform, and show how to import, organise, view, search, annotate and publish imaging data. Additionally, we will briefly introduce how to use a variety of processing tools with OMERO.

This course is organized alongside a one day course on Biological Imaging Data Processing for Data Scientists. More information on this event are available here.

This course will be delivered by members of the OMERO team. The OME project is supported by BBSRC and Wellcome Trust.

Please note that if you are not eligible for a University of Cambridge Raven account you will need to book or register your interest by linking here.

• Anyone wanting to use OMERO to organize, view, annotate and publish imaging data
• Facility Managers wanting to train users
• Graduate students, Postdocs and Staff members from the University of Cambridge, Affiliated Institutions and other external Institutions or individuals
• Please be aware that these courses are only free for University of Cambridge students. All other participants will be charged a registration fee in some form. Registration fees and further details regarding the charging policy are available here.

Bioinformatics, Biological imaging, Data management

After this course you should be able to:

• Import image and HCS data into OMERO
• Organise, view and annotate data with webclient
• Search for data within OMERO
• Use OMERO web plugins to organise, view and publish data
