An atlas for the Blind Mexican Cavefish has been added to BrainGlobe
- 21 June 2024
Kozol et al, 2023 recently published a brain atlas of the blind Mexican cavefish Astyanax mexicanus. This species is interesting from an evolutionary point of view, due to divergent phenotypes (surface- and cave-dwelling) that can be hybridised in the lab. Surface-dwelling populations have retained their eyesight, while cave-dwellers have not. The cavefish brain atlas allows us to understand how brains of a single species have changed anatomically and functionally as part of their adaptations to the environment.
Cellfinder version 1.3.0 is released!
- 03 June 2024
We are excited to announce that a new version of cellfinder
has been released.
BrainGlobe version 1.1.0 is released!
- 16 May 2024
A new version of the BrainGlobe metapackage has been released following updates to lots of BrainGlobe tools (details below).
bg-atlasapi and bg-atlasgen have merged under a new name
- 14 February 2024
bg-atlasapi
and bg-atlasgen
have merged into a single package, now called brainglobe-atlasapi
.
brainglobe-atlasapi
now provides the same API that bg-atlasapi
provided, in exactly the same way - all that needs to happen is a name change in your scripts.
imio will be merging into brainglobe-utils
- 08 February 2024
The imio
package will be absorbed into brainglobe-utils
as a submodule, so will no longer be receiving standalone updates.
This decision was made because:
bg-space has been renamed
- 24 January 2024
The “bg” prefix that a number of BrainGlobe tools carry is not very distinctive nor informative, so we are rolling out minor name changes to a lot of our packages that contain this prefix. We are also taking this opportunity to bring these tools into line with our developer guidelines for automatic deployment, tooling, and testing.
BrainGlobe version 1 is here!
- 08 January 2024
Following our series of incremental updates to a number of BrainGlobe tools, we are pleased to announce that BrainGlobe version 1 has been released today! Users can now enjoy:
cellfinder-core and cellfinder-napari have merged
- 02 January 2024
BrainGlobe version 1 is almost ready, and the next stage of its release journey is the merging of the “backend” cellfinder-core
and cellfinder-napari
packages into one.
We had previously migrated the cellfinder
data analysis workflow into the new brainglobe-workflows
package, as part of our efforts to separate “backend” BrainGlobe tools from common analysis pipelines.
This means that there is no longer any need to keep the “backend” package (cellfinder-core
) and nor the visualisation plugin (cellfinder-napari
) stored in separate, lower-level packages.
As such;
