The left panel shows time-lapse microscopy data of microscopic yeast colonies growing under the microscope. The right panel shows growth data extracted from the images. Learn more about the time-lapse microscopy data here and check out my github for resources related to analyzing microcolony growth data.

 

 

Detecting Beneficial Mutations in Genomic Time-Series
