+**Raw and processed data analyzed via jupyter notebooks**
     The code for analysis of raw timeseries bioreactor data( present in the form of CSVs for ODs, dilutions, and
     single cell fluorescence) was developed in Python. The data can be loaded as a reactordata object. 
     All the functions used for analysis utilise this class.

+**Matlab data and simulation code**
     Raw timeseries data was processed to obtain relevant information in individualized matlab files that were
     used to paramterize the stochastic differentiation model and simulate the dynamics given the light sequence
     (included as csv files).
