Janelia Workstation

The Janelia Workstation is a neuroscience discovery platform for processing, analysis, annotation, and sharing of large-scale 3D microscopy data.

The Janelia Workstation currently supports two large-scale team projects at Janelia Research Campus:

• The HortaCloud application built for MouseLight has been fully open sourced and made available here with complete documentation. These tools enable neuron tracing and connectomics on terabyte-scale Mouse brain volumes.
• The FlyLight tools have been partially open sourced, but are not yet officially supported. At Janelia, these tools support search, browsing, and annotation of millions of confocal-imaged Fly nervous systems.

For System Administrators

Deployment

The Workstation Client (this repository) is supported by a set of back-end services. Deploying all of these services is easily accomplished through the use of Docker containers orchestrated with either Docker Compose or Docker Swarm. Complete documentation about deploying the entire system is available in the jacs-cm repository.

MouseLight Deployment

The canonical two-server deployment of the MouseLight neuron tracing tools is described here.
