Lemming Toolbox (Matlab/Simulink)

Background

During the iGem competition we developed several fast algorithms (e.g. for cell detection and tracking), complex models, as well as novel visualization, user input and microscope control approaches. Already during their development we took serious efforts to construct all parts in a modular and interchangeable way to deal with the combinatorial diversity of the questions our models as well as the information processing had to answer. Besides the various modules which can easily be reused by people experienced in programming, we also developed a graphical block representation of the various modules based on Simulink. This graphical user interface (GUI) can also be used by people with no or only little programming knowledge to solve complex tasks. These tasks do not have to be necessarily related to our iGem project, but can e.g. include the simulation of wild type chemotaxis, the detection of various cell types
