Kymograph analysis is commonly used by researchers to study dynamic processes in cells. Current tools widely available only allow for analysis of one channel kymographs. Here we provide a python-coded, open source program to use as a plug-in for ImageJ which creates one kymograph from the kymographs of two separate channels of one time-lapse movie. This add-in, which we call KymoMerge, therefore allows for analysis of only the co-located tracks in multi-channel movies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
