BactMAP: an R package for integrating, analyzing and visualizing bacterial microscopy data

What is it about?

High-throughput analysis of single-cell microscopy is a critical tool within the field of biology. We developed BactMAP, an R package that allows researchers to transform and combine cell segmentation and spot detection data by different programs, visualize the data and perform custom analysis. Using BactMAP, we visualized key cell cycle parameters in three Gram-positive bacteria and analyzed the dynamics of the replisome in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae.
