With new omega tool, scientists can rapidly analyze complex biological images through AI-powered 'conversations' - EurekAlert


In a new research article, scientists at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) describe Omega, an open-source software tool that significantly advances the field of bioimage analysis. Omega harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs) to enable scientists to process and analyze biological images through natural language conversations rather than having to issue formal commands or write code.   Created by Loïc A. Royer and his team, and documented in a paper published June 10, 2024 in Nature Methods, Omega is a plug-in for napari, an open-source image viewer used worldwide in diverse scientific fields, especially in biomedical research.
