Analyzing organelles is HARD. They're complex, but critical to understanding biology. Current tools are manual, organelle-specific, or can't handle large 3D datasets.

With an easy install and a click of a button, Nellie solves ALL these problems!

Already some cool applications for Nellie: If you're used to MitoGraph data and want some of the same outputs from Nellie, check out Gav's Python code.

We spend a lot of time thinking about segmenting cells, but organelles represent a similarly important challenge that is tricky due to their diversity in shapes and sizes. Please check out Nellie, a generalist tool for segmenting AND TRACKING organelles!

Stoked to share TWO preprints on mitochondrial pearling! 🎉
We uncover how spontaneous #mitochondria pearling drives #mtDNA nucleoid distribution (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), and
@gavsturm.bsky.social
et al. dissect the biophysics behind it (doi.org/10.1101/2024...). Details below! 🔬🧵🧪
