Pooled CRISPR screening of high-content cellular phenotypes by ghost cytometry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Fast enrichment of cells based on morphological information remains a challenge, limiting genome-wide perturbation screening for diverse high-content phenotypes of cells. Here we show that multi-modal ghost cytometry-based cell sorting is applicable to fast pooled CRISPR screening for both fluorescence and label-free high-content phenotypes of millions of cells. By employing the high-content cell sorter in the fluorescence mode, we enabled the genome-wide CRISPR screening of genes that affect NF-κB nuclear translocation. Furthermore, by employing the multi-parametric, label-free mode, we performed the large-scale screening to identify a gene involved in macrophage polarization. Especially the label-free platform can enrich target phenotypes without invasive staining, preserving untouched cells for downstream assays and unlocking the potential to screen for the cellular phenotypes even when suitable markers are lacking. One-Sentence Summary Machine vision-based cell sorter enabled genome-wide perturbation screens for high-content cell phenotypes even without labeling

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
