Development of Orange, an open-source data mining toobox

Computational methods that are developed within the project are implemented in Orange, a data mining framework. In 2008, we have extended Orange with server-based preprocessing and storage of public data. Publication that we are citing here provides a comparison of Orange and similar open-source frameworks.

Improved method for agar-based yeast cell growth fitness determination

To minimize the amount of required substances to be tested in the genome-wide screening, a higher density yeast colony array was developed. We upgraded the custom-made robotic manipulator to perform pinning at 1536 colonies/plate (previously 384). Currently used methods measure yeast colony area, which however does not take into account differences in three-dimensional shapes of the colonies. We developed an approach whereby we obtain information on the 3D shape by transmission scanning and using a dedicated algorithm to determine the volume.
