Region of Interest (ROI) of digital images and machine learning

Digital image and machine learning: ROIを最初に決めなきゃ。ROIなければ進む意味がない。

自分の場合だったら、移植した肝での1,000枚染めを鏡検することなんだろうけど、人力の方が安いだろうね。何を見たいのかをはっきりさせないと意味がない。

Difference between the Saeko method (S) and HAES SOP (H)

1.Period of EB formation
A. S: 10 days in KSR in 96-well dishes in iPSellon without bFGF.
B.H: 3 days (4 to 7 days) in XF(-) in 10-cell dishes or 96-well dishes.
2.Period of adhesion.
A. S:    7 days in XF32 .
B.H:   a month in XF32.



XF(-): XF32 without the growth factors.


Saeko with Kenta and Takaaki

Hiroka

gRNAs 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, and 4-1were successful on 293 cells. 

Neural stem cells from EdomiPS#S31 cells were transfected with the 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, and 4-1 (ATM disrupting gRNA) the Crisper-Cas9 system. Transfection efficiencies were quite low by the lipofection method. Electroporation method will be examined. The condition are from Prof Takagi (ask Marina). 

Radiation experiments should be done after successful disruption of the ATM gene in EdomiPS#S31 cells.
