cytoskeleton-analyser is a postprocessor for extraction, analysis and human-friendly presentation of the raw binary results generated by Explicit-Microtubules.
Explicit-Microtubules Explicit-Microtubules is a C++ simulator of the whole-cell microtubule system. It reconstructs computationally the microtubule geometry and real-time dynamics in 3d space and time using stochastic algorithms. In the course of the simulation based on a multitude of bioogical information, it outputs detailed histories of microtubule dynamics along with three-dimensional snapshots of microtubules. However, designed to be focuced on versatile generation procedures, Explicit-Microtubules only includes basic data analysis.
Complementing the simulator, cytoskeleton-analyser is designed to extract, analyse and visualize various characteristics of the stochastically reconstructed microtubule system.
##Requirements
Cytoskeleton Analyser requires python 3.9 or later.
When installing by pip, the following dependencies are installed automatically:
##Installation
Provided that python is present, in the simplest case the Cytoskeleton Analyser may be installed globallly using pip:
pip install cytoskeleton-analyserHowever, the recommended way is installing the package into a python virtual environment, which adds only a few commans:
-
Create a project directory (here named ‘myproject’) and cd to it.
-
Create a python virtual environment (here named ‘venv3.9’).
-
Activate the virtual environment.
-
Install as above.
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
python3 -m venv venv3.9
source venv3.9/bin/activate
pip install cytoskeleton-analyserAlternatively, if you want to install the python package straight from the GitHub repository, replace the last line above with
pip install git+git://github.com/vsukhor/cytoskeleton-analyserGetting Started
A more complete introduction, use examples and API are available in the documentation.`
