X Abstract

The evaluation of fluorescence microscopy images acquired in high-throughput cell phenotype screens constitutes a substantial bottleneck and motivates the development of automated image analysis methods. Here we introduce a computational scheme to process 3D multi-cell time-lapse images as they are produced in large-scale RNAi experiments. We describe an approach to automatically segment, track, and classify cell nuclei into different mitotic phases. This enables automated analysis of the duration of single phases of the cell life cycle and thus the identification of cell cultures that show an abnormal mitotic behavior. Our scheme proves a high accuracy, suggesting a promising future for automating the evaluation of high-throughput experiments.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
