Eyewire II Question Box

Q2 re special task: Would it not be as if not more effective to keep (re-add) the initial segID after making any/all changes as to showcase all the changes made rather than keep in all the removed mergers (even if hidden) in a diff. colour than the new/changed segID?

I agree, I think this is probably the best way to just compare the before/after segment IDs. But I wasn’t part of the conversation directly…

… So in answer to your first question, the initial/origin Segment would be the mergers to keep so we can show what didn’t get removed to those who are learning :slight_smile:

Wow! Great! I’ll be sure to share this with them.
It’s nice being back with these retina cells – they’re like old friends

It has been so long since I’ve worked with these cell types, on the other hand, I feel like I’ve gotten myself confused, haha.

Remind me: how do we tell GCs and SACs apart?

the avg ganglion will have an axon


and be either single layer or bistratified (two layers).

SB/SACs on the other hand have no axon and are on a single layer going ‘outwards’ from the CB like an exploding star

Sorry I didn’t get back to this last week, things were particularly busy.

I agree that this would be a good workflow, and we may change to this method for future similar tasks. For this one let’s just keep it as is since it’s already complete.

Thanks for all the work you did on these, it’s much appreciated!

Sounds like a plan, and yvmw! It was fun checking up someone else’s work. :slight_smile:

Hi AzureJay,

Yes! Feel free to trace both SACs if they started out merged together. And just keep them on the single line like you have right now in the spreadsheet - it looks great! :+1:
We only ask that the final link have both cells in it and the two final segIDs in Column L :slight_smile:

Sorry I missed this! Yes, please make sure to do the soma and nucleus annotations for the cells. For the True End/Can’t Fix/Hits Edge, this is to help you keep track of your proofreading progress (since we don’t have highlight/complete/etc. like we do in Eyewire) and also for any potential reviewers/researchers to easily find areas where there may be an issue (ie. Can’t Fix).

Np! Thnx for the answer. For the new Nuc SegID thingy, do you want the ##### alone in gsheet or also the segment included (not merged) in final link?

Let’s leave out the nucleus, I think it’s fine to just have the Seg ID in the sheet. Thanks!
