BMC Systems Biology

Call for papers: Systems Medicine

New Content Item BMC Systems Biology is delighted to announce the launch of a thematic series focused on highlighting original research on the emerging field of 'Systems Medicine', which will review and feature applied translational research on biological mechanisms, including the tailoring of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease via a multitude of methods.

Balomenos et al present BaSCA, a novel Bacterial image analysis driven single-cell analytics pipeline, which enables the high throughput analysis, down to the single-cell level, of complex time lapse cell movies with many colonies and potentially thousands of cells in the field of view. The results presented demonstrate its robustness and universality.
