Statistical issues in subpopulation analysis of high content imaging data

Abstract

High content imaging (HCI) is an increasingly important method for elucidating changes in cellular biology. The combination of validated immuno-fluorescent assays, availability of automated microscopy, and advances in image analysis software has led to increased exploitation of this technology in a variety of settings ranging from cellular signaling pathways to drug discovery. Recent advances in HCI have made the collection of multi-parametric datasets from high-throughput screening routine, but analysis of these data remains a challenge. The few existing analytical tools used to analyze HCI data, usually provided by HCI platform vendors, require extensive operator interaction and, more importantly, lack statistical power. This results in serious under-utilization of the information available from this powerful technology. As HCI applications become increasingly complex, measurements to estimate the composition of the cell population and thus the underlying data structure also becomes more complicated, and the analysis to facilitate the understanding of the biological system will rely heavily on analytical expertise that requires advanced statistical training. The aim of this article is to review the major statistical issues in...Continue Reading
