Machine learning approach for discrimination of genotypes based on bright-field cellular images

Abstract Morphological profiling is a combination of established optical microscopes and cutting-edge machine vision technologies, which stacks up successful applications in high-throughput phenotyping. One major question is how much information can be extracted from an image to identify genetic dif...
