Abstract

The visual classification of cell images according to differences in the spatial patterns of subcellular structure is an important methodology in cell and developmental biology. Experimental perturbation of cell function can induce changes in the spatial distribution of organelles and their associated markers or labels. Here, we demonstrate how to achieve accurate, unbiased, high-throughput image classification using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. We show that a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm can classify distinct patterns of Golgi images after drug or siRNA treatments, and we review our methods from cell preparation to image acquisition and CNN analysis.
