Analyzing those images, however, often remains a manual, error-prone process that fails to maximize their value for understanding biological systems.

A team at Georgia Tech and Emory University has created a simple-to-use software program to help. It allows any researcher with imaging data to leverage powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and uncover new insights from their experiments — without knowing how to write complex computer code.

Called iCLOTS, the program is open-source and freely available on a dedicated website with extensive documentation and guidance. The team described the software and how it can help deepen understanding of experimental data in the journal Nature Communications.
