The goal of the HMS Connectomics Core is to help researchers acquire, align, segment, proofread, and annotate large-scale maps of cell-cell interactions using volumetric electron microscopy (EM), genetically encoded cell-type-specific EM tags, trans-synaptic viral tracing, machine learning algorithms, and advanced statistical methods.
Currently, we assist groups with analysis of existing large-scale electron and X-ray microscopy datasets. This involves deployment of infrastructure, computer workstations, and software resources for connectomic data analysis.
