Biology OpenThis work by Laura A. Sherer et al (University of Minnesota) describes two MATLAB programming languages to accurately analyse bundling of actin filaments obtained in fluorescence micrographs.
“With minor modifications, we anticipate that these programs can be made applicable to the analysis of a broad range of polymer-based assays.”

Computational tools for quantifying actin filament numbers, lengths, and bundling
Summary: We describe two programs written in the MATLAB programming language that facilitate counting, length measurements, and quantification of bundling of actin filaments visualized in fluorescence micrographs.
