ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a cell imaging technique for automatically tracking the progression of a cell through the cell cycle over time through segmentation of a volume of two-dimensional time-lapse images. The technique allows long-term tracking of the cell cycle progression of an individual cell or multiple cells. Further, the invention provides a unique display of cell cycle progression, allowing an end user to easily determine changes to cell cycle progression for a cell of interest.
