New technology combines artificial intelligence and microscopy to screen cells at large scale. A new technology promises to enable more comprehensive investigations into how individual genes determine the appearance and behavior of cells: Researchers led by Professor Veit Hornung at LMU's Gene Center and Professor Matthias Mann at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, together with Professor Fabian Theis at Helmholtz Munich, have developed SPARCS, a technology that combines artificial intelligence with microscopy and genetic screening. It enables researchers to screen millions of genetically modified cells for complex visual features and then selectively isolate individual cells of interest. Using SPARCS, cellular effects can thus be linked to the genetic changes that cause them. The findings have now been published in the journal Cell.
