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 https://kmlvision.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3406725124 | Minimum of 5 and up to 8. The first five channels must be in the following order:
Further channels (up to 3) are supported and may be in any order.
| 8 Bit or 16 Bit | Standard images: 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:
Optionally, up to 3 further channels can be analyzed for the same field of view.

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’).

| |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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:

| 3 | 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:
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. Please note: The model operates under the assumption that the cells are mononuclear.  Cell segmentation output  Nucleus segmentation output For this application the dataset “CPG0000-JUMP-pilot” was used, available on https://registry.opendata.aws/cellpainting-gallery/. |
