Understanding cell structures: Novel tool enables analysis of the plant actin cytoskeleton

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr. Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of actin filamentous structures in plant cells. The tool, called the Graph of Filaments over Time (GraFT), could revolutionize the study of filamentous structures in plant cells, as it enables the automated and highly precise tracking and tracing of filamentous structures. The results of the GraFT trials are published in Science Advances.
