Living Lab Lecture SeriesLiving Lab Hands-On Demonstrator #3: Napari-KICS
Room APB-1020
Nöthnitzer Str. 46
01187 Dresden
In our ScaDS.AI Living Lab Hands-On Demonstrator Series we showcase the latest accomplishments, discoveries, improvements and educational tools of the ScaDS.AI team in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Data Science.
This time our ScaDS.AI researcher Arne Ludwig will present his demonstrator Napari-KICS.
Chromosome-scale genome assembly is affected by scaffolding errors and may yield incorrect chromosome sizes. KICS is a semi-automated and cost-efficient approach for examining the validity of the assembly by estimating relative chromosome sizes from the respective karyotype images. The method employs threshold-based image segmentation and uses the extracted chromosome areas as proxies for the actual chromosome sizes. The suitability of the approach is confirmed by a strong correlation between area and DNA content evaluated on karyotype images of varied species and achieving a 6 Mb chromosome size error on a reference human karyotype dataset.
We welcome you all to our Living Lab! The introductory talk, Q&A and hands-on session will provide you with a chance to familiarize yourself with the demonstrator, with the guidance of the demonstrator creator, and have a discussion on their research directions and real-life applications.
This Living Lab is free for everyone.
