Abstract

Advances in high-throughput microscopy have enabled the rapid acquisition of large numbers of high-content microscopy images. Whether by deep learning or classical algorithms, image analysis pipelines then produce single-cell features. To process these single-cells for downstream applications, we present Pycytominer, a user-friendly, open-source python package that implements the bioinformatics steps, known as "image-based profiling". We demonstrate Pycytominer's usefulness in a machine learning project to predict nuisance compounds that cause undesirable cell injuries.
