growthcurves: User-friendly tools for quality-controlled cellular growth analysis (opens in new tab)

Biological growth curves are widely used but inconsistently analyzed due to fragmented workflows and limited quality control. We present growthcurves, a Python package for extracting growth parameters, and two open-source web applications (MicroGrowth and AutoGrowth) enabling human-in-the-loop analysis of datasets from microplate reader or mini-bioreactor experiments in either batch or turbidostat cultivation mode. By combining automated fitting with convenient quality control, the platform i...
