Application description

Cell Painting is the morphological profiling of cell populations to study the phenotypic or functional impacts of perturbations. This application automatically evaluates multi-well plate multichannel images that utilize five fluorescent dyes. The cells, nuclei and cytoplasms are segmented and quantified in each image.

This analysis can be performed on multichannel images containing five- to eight channels. The first five channels must be in a specific order (see Input data requirements section).

In the following sections, we provide the input data requirements that are necessary to obtain accurate image analysis results and a description of the output files.

Input data requirements

Input image(s)

Input for this application is the following image data:

Image type

Color channels

Color depth (per channel)

Size (px)

Resolution (μm/px)

Multichannel

Check image formats

File formats

Minimum of 5 and up to 8.

The first five channels must be in the following order:

  • Mito

  • AGP

  • RNA

  • ER

  • DNA

Further channels (up to 3) are supported and may be in any order.

8 bit & Bit or 16 bitBit

Standard imagesMax: 3072 x 3072: max: 3,072 x 3,072

typically: 0.3-1.16

Image content

The captured high-content microscopy images provide information about various subcellular structures and compartments such as:

  • Mito (Mitochondria)

  • AGP (Cytoskeleton)

  • RNA (Ribonucleic acid)

  • ER (Endoplasmic reticulum)

  • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)

Optionally, up to 3 further channels can be analyzed for the same field of view.


The Cell Painting input images represent usually crowded cells after specific chemical treatments, captured as a multichannel image with 5 fluorescent channels and 3 brightfield channels.

Note

Important:

For all images, the following requirements apply:

  • The illumination must be constant throughout the image(s).

  • The sample must be in focus, i.e. no blurry regions in image(s).

  • The images must have a minimum of five channels in the following order:

    • Mito

    • AGP

    • RNA

    • ER

    • DNA

Input parameter(s)

No additional input parameters are required for this application.

As an optional parameter, a single or multiple regions of interest (ROIs) can be defined in which the analysis should be performed (‘inclusion ROIs’).

Description

1

csv

results_01_cells.csv:

A csv file containing the analysis results for the segmented objects in each channel for the input image or all inclusion ROIs. Overall 1917 object features are extracted for each cellular compartment.

The extracted feature groups are:

  • Intensity (152)

  • Correlation (224)

  • Neighbors (14)

  • AreaShape (25)

  • Zernike (30)

  • Granularity (128)

  • RadialDistribution (96)

  • Texture (1248)

2

csv

results.csv:

A csv file containing the analysis results for the input image or all inclusion ROIs.

jpg

results_vis/<compartment_id>_<compartment_name>_vis.jpg (for multichannel image, no ROI), or

results_vis/<compartment_id>_<compartment_name>_<roi-id>.jpg (for multichannel image, ROI <roi-id>):

A visualization of the analysis result for a specific compartment (of a multichannel image) for either the whole image (if no inclusion ROIs selected for analysis) or each individual inclusion ROI.

Description for visualizations:

  • White contours: border lines of the segmented objects

  • Numbers: Identified cells and the corresponding nuclei, cytoplasms

Info

Please note: If the objects' borders are within a 5-pixel distance from the image border, they will be excluded from segmentation and feature extraction, to prevent non-complete cell analysis.

Info

Please note: The model operates under the assumption that the cells are mononuclear.

Info

Please note: The image quality might be reduced for the presentation in the technical docs.

For this application the dataset “CPG0000-JUMP-pilot” was used, available on https://registry.opendata.aws/cellpainting-gallery/.

4

json

annotation_results.json:

JSON file containing detected compartment objects (covered regions). The position is measured from the left upper corner (1,1) of the image.

5

json

roiMeta.json:

A json file containing all information regarding the ROIs defined for the analysis job to ensure reproducibility. The file is empty if no ROIs were defined for analysis.

6

jpg

rois_visualization.jpg:

An overview visualization to show locations of all analyzed ROIs for the 2D image of a multichannel image.

Info

Please note: This file is only created if inclusion ROIs were defined for analysis.

7

json

jobResultBundleMeta.json:

A json file containing all information regarding the analysis job (application name and version, project, etc.) to ensure reproducibility.

Info

Please note: This file is only included if bundled or merged analysis jobs are downloaded.

Info

Please note:

  • In the case where inclusion ROIs are partially outside of the image, the ROIs are cropped to the areas that lie inside the image.

  • In the case where inclusion ROIs are completely outside of the image, no analysis is performed. However, they are still listed in corresponding results files.

  • A <roi-id> is generated automatically by the application corresponding to the creation date of a ROI. The location of an ROI within an image with its specific <roi-id> can be seen in the file “rois_visualization.jpg.” ROIs that are completely outside of the image are not shown in this file.

  • All visualizations are downscaled to 25 megapixels (MP), if the original image or inclusion ROI is larger than 25 MP.
