🔥 In one test (500-frame light-sheet dataset), Ultrack reduced manual corrections by >2× !
Built to work with tools like Cellpose, Stardist, Ilastik.
Open-source, napari-compatible, GPU-accelerated.
awesome data from @adrianjacobo.bsky.social !

💡Ultrack is a robust tracking framework based on multi-hypothesis segmentation & integer linear programming.
It reduces errors dramatically, scales to full embryos, and supports multicolor, 2D/3D, HPC workflows.

A tour de force by @jookuma.bsky.social

We built these tools because modern light-sheet microscopy generates massive datasets—millions of cells, terabytes of data, hours of embryonic development.
🧠 But data is only half the story. We need to track, explore, and share.
That’s where Ultrack and inTRACKtive come in.

🧬🔬🧪 🎉 Our team at @czbiohub is thrilled to share TWO companion papers out today in @NatureMethods!
📦 Ultrack — robust, scalable nD cell tracking
🌐 inTRACKtive — a beautiful, open-source web viewer for lineage exploration
Let’s dive in! 👇

The birth of fruit fly's central nervous system imaged with multicolor #adaptive #lightsheet microscopy. The microscope self-aligns to a signal that appears during imaging.
