An interactive tool for analyzing nucleocytoplasmic shuttling
of fluorescent reporters in living cells
of fluorescent reporters in living cells
ShuttleTracker can detect stained cell nuclei, generate corresponding annular perinuclear extensions, quantify geometric and photometric properties of detected objects, and perform frame-to-frame nuclei tracking. Parameters of the image processing algorithms can be changed manually and the effects of these changes can be seen nearly immediately overlaid on currently displayed microscopic images. A key capability of ShuttleTracker is that nuclear contours and tracks can be generated automatically and then corrected manually. The tool is scriptable.
Example session
Downloads
The latest ShuttleTracker version is 1.0.0.
Stand-alone binary executables
- Mac application bundle (zipped "app"): shuttletracker-1.0.0-x86_64-darwin16.zip
COMPATIBILITY: This software was built with XCode 8 and tested under macOS 10.12 (Sierra). It is likely incompatible with previous Mac operating system releases. It has been confirmed to work on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra).
SECURITY: MD5 sum of the downloadable ZIP archive can be checked in Terminal:
SECURITY: MD5 sum of the downloadable ZIP archive can be checked in Terminal:
md5 path_to_zip
MD5 sum of untainted shuttletracker-1.0.0-x86_64-darwin16.zip is TODO- Windows 64-bit installer: shuttletracker-1.0.0-x86_win64-setup.exe
COMPATIBILITY: This software was built with MSVC14 on Windows 10, and tested on Windows 10 and Windows 8.
SECURITY: The downloadable installer is not signed with a certificate (so in windows terms it comes from an "unknown publisher") but its integrity can be checked manually in command line using a Windows pre-installed utility:

Containers
- A docker-based recipe for a Singularity container: shuttletracker-1.0.0-singularity.recipe
BUILDING a container (in terminal):
LAUNCHING the simulator within a container (in terminal):
singularity build shuttletracker.simg shuttletracker-1.0.0-singularity.recipe
LAUNCHING the simulator within a container (in terminal):
singularity exec shuttletracker-1.0.0.simg /opt/local/bin/ShuttleTracker
Source code
ShuttleTracker source code is distributed under GNU GPL v3.0.
- C++ source code: shuttletracker-1.0.0-source.tar.gz
Compilation on Linux, Mac, and Windows is managed by CMake, which is expected to be used in the standard way:
You may also have a look at how the build process is automated in a Singularity container recipe distributed in source code distribution subdirectory distrib/singularity.
tar xfz shuttletracker-VERSION-source.tar.gz cd shuttletracker-VERSION-source mkdir build && cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local/ make -j4 && make install
Documentation
- User's manual: shuttletracker-1.0.0-manual.pdf
Example images
- An archive with example ShuttleTracker files: shuttletracker-1.0.0-examples.zip
