We describe the Toolkit for Automated Microtubule Tracking (TAMiT), which automatically detects, optimizes, and tracks fluorescent microtubules in living yeast cells with sub-pixel accuracy. TAMiT detects linear and curved polymers using a geometrical scanning technique.
Patrick Flynn received his AB in physics summa cum laude today, with the honors recognizing his thesis, Dynamics of mitotic microtubules in fission yeast. Congratulations!
Patrick Flynn will be starting the Harvard Systems Biology PhD program this fall. Congratulations!
Our paper "Contributions of microtubule dynamic instability and rotational diffusion to kinetochore capture" was published in final form today by the Biophysical Journal and highlighted on the Biophysical Journal website.
Our paper "Contributions of microtubule dynamic instability and rotational diffusion to kinetochore capture" was posted on the arXiv preprint server today.
Recent work has found that microtubule rotational diffusion about minus-end attachment points contributes to kinetochore capture in fission yeast, but the relative contributions of dynamic instability and rotational diffusion are not well understood.
