MoBIE Fiji Viewer

MoBIE is a Fiji plugin for exploring and sharing big multi-modal image and associated tabular data.

History

The MoBIE was initially developed to explore a cellular atlas for the biological model system Platynereis dumerilii, see: Whole-body integration of gene expression and single-cell morphology. However, the framework turned out to be so useful and generalisable that it is now used for other projects as well, e.g. see all the repositories ending on "-project" here.
