PROCESS CONTROL IN CELL BASED ASSAYS

Abstract:

Evaluating an effect of one or more perturbations on cells of a first cell type is described. One method includes obtaining a screen definition for a screen, where the screen includes a cell-based assay that is run on a temporarily contiguous basis using a plurality of multi-well plates. The method includes obtaining control vectors including measurements of corresponding features of cells in control wells. The method includes obtaining test vectors including measurements of corresponding features of cells in test wells. The method includes forming a variability model based on a variance across the of control vectors, and embedding test vectors onto the variability model, thereby obtaining a set of variability model values. The method includes using the set of variability model values to resolve an effect of at least one data perturbation in the plurality of data perturbations on the first cell type.
