The COSEM Project Team has developed a set of algorithms that can map the organelles in microscope images of cells, creating detailed 3D representations of cells’ inner workings.
... The detail in these images would be nearly impossible to parse by hand throughout the entire cell, says Aubrey Weigel, who led the Janelia Project Team, called COSEM (for Cell Organelle Segmentation in Electron Microscopy). The data for just one cell is made up of tens of thousands of images; tracing all a cell’s organelles through that collection of pictures would take one person more than 60 years. But the new algorithms make it possible to map an entire cell in hours, rather than years.
