This project is a collaboration between Dudley Lab at the Pacific NW Research Institute and the J. Nathan Kutz group at the University of Washington.

Summary: Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a model organism for studying the morphology that emerges at the scale of multi-cell colonies. To look at how morphology develops, we collect a dataset of time-lapse photographs of the growth of different strains of S. cerevisiae.
