Using linear regression as well as state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we aimed to build a model that could meaningfully predict dropout while remaining interpretable.

Here, we describe a protocol for the high-fidelity segmentation of the nucleus and cytoplasm in cell culture and apply it to monitor interferon-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling. We provide guidelines for sample preparation, image acquisition, and segmentation.
