THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on September 2, 2022. Software that is an open-source distribution of a new method for constructing compact statistical point-based models of ensembles of similar shapes that does not rely on any specific surface parameterization. The method requires very little preprocessing or parameter tuning, and is applicable to a wide range of shape analysis problems, including nonmanifold surfaces and objects of arbitrary topology. The proposed correspondence point optimization uses an entropy-based minimization that balances the simplicity of the model (compactness) with the accuracy of the surface representations. The ShapeWorks software includes tools for preprocessing data, computing point-based shape models, and visualizing the results.

Narrative resource describing a visual data analysis and collection approach that takes advantage of the cylindrical nature of the zebrafish allowing for an efficient and effective method for image capture called, Specimen in a Corrected Optical Rotational Enclosure (SCORE) Imaging. To achieve a non-distorted image, zebrafish were placed in a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tube with a surrounding, optically corrected imaging solution: water. By similarly matching the refractive index of the housing (FEP tubing) to that of the inner liquid and outer liquid (water), distortion was markedly reduced, producing a crisp imagable specimen that is able to be fully rotated 360 degrees. A similar procedure was established for fixed zebrafish embryos using convenient, readily available borosilicate capillaries surrounded by 75% glycerol. The method described could be applied to chemical genetic screening and other, related high-throughput methods within the fish community and among other scientific fields.
