Show abstract
Whole plate detection of calcium flux signals using fluorescence is a powerful technology for monitoring oscillatory activity of excitable cells in a high throughput fashion that sees broad applications in neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity research. However, analysis of calcium oscillation profiles can output more than 60 peak kinetic parameters, which makes manual data analysis challenging. We have created the CalFluxTools R package, an automated pipeline for parsing plate data for 384 well plates, generating quality control metrics and plots, and performing data analysis, including T-tests, Z-score analysis, and machine learning prediction of compound toxicity values. CalFluxTools requires a plate map and experimental manifest that includes parameter filtration specifications, as well as data in the ".statall" format. CalFluxTools runs in less than a minute on a Macbook Pro with a 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 processor.

"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.
