Abstract Background Image-based high-throughput screening (HTS) reveals a high level of heterogeneity in single cells and multiple cellular states may be observed within a single population. Currently available high-dimensional analysis methods are successful in characterizing cellular heterogeneity, but suffer from the “curse of dimensionality” and non-standardized outputs. Results Here we introduce RefCell, a multi-dimensional analysis pipeline for image-based HTS that reproducibly captures cells with typical combinations of features in reference states and uses these “typical cells” as a reference for classification and weighting of metrics. RefCell quantitatively assesses heterogeneous deviations from typical behavior for each analyzed perturbation or sample. Conclusions We apply RefCell to the analysis of data from a high-throughput imaging screen of a library of 320 ubiquitin-targeted siRNAs selected to gain insights into the mechanisms of premature aging (progeria). RefCell yields results comparable to a more complex clustering-based single-cell analysis method; both methods reveal more potential hits than a conventional analysis based on averages. |
