Identifying phenotype-genotype-function coupling in 3D organoid imaging using Shape, Appearance and Motion Phenotype Observation Tool (SPOT)

Felix Zhou, Brittany‐Amber Jacobs, Adam Norton-Steele, Xiaoyue Han, Linna Zhou, Thomas M. Carroll, Carlos Ruiz Puig, Joseph Chadwick, Xiao Qin, Richard Lisle, Lewis Marsh, Helen Mary Byrne, Heather Harrington, Xin Lü

The paper develops SPOT, a tool for analyzing 3D morpho-dynamics from 2D live-cell imaging, and applies it to organoids to identify phenotype-genotype-function relationships.

Nanog fluctuations in ES cells highlight the problem of measurement in cell biology

Rosanna C G Smith, Patrick S Stumpf, Sonya J Ridden, Aaron Sim, Sarah Filippi, Heather Harrington, Ben D MacArthur

The paper shows that genetic reporters for Nanog can distort its dynamics in ES cells, leading to misleading results about pluripotency regulation.
