RIKEN Hackathon FY2019 – TIFF image ROI contours written to BDML/BD5 format using Galaxy workflow

SSBD team attended the RIKEN Hackathon FY2019 and developed a software tool in Python that allows the ROI contours of a TIFF image to be saved into BDML/BD5 format using Galaxy workflow. The tool can be used separately from Galaxy.
