Meiotic recombination can be visually observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae tetrads using linked spore-autonomous fluorescent markers placed at defined intervals within the genome, which allows for analysis of meiotic segregation without the need for tetrad dissection. To automate the analysis, we developed a deep learning-based image recognition and classification pipeline for high-throughput tetrad detection and meiotic crossover classification.
