  2. Recovering numeric data from an image of a graph


    Sometimes all you have is an image file (perhaps from a scanned publication) and you would like to convert the data points to xy coordinates (maybe you want to try an analysis on someone else's data). R gives some tools to help. Here is the start of some code:

  3. Gene Paint image library

    GenePaint is a digital atlas of gene expression patterns in various tissues and species with strong focus on mouse embryos. The in situ section mages are in amazingly high resolution so you can clearly see which cells express the gene of interest.
