Nuclear & RNA Foci

Count the spots inside every nucleus.

Segment nuclei, then detect and quantify intranuclear puncta as a per-nucleus readout: RNA foci, DNA-damage foci, or FISH spots. Track foci count, intensity, and area to read target engagement across a dose-response, the same way ConductRNA reads nuclear-foci dissolution.

What gets measured

Foci are assigned to their parent nucleus, so every metric is both per-cell and aggregated across the population.

01

Per nucleus

  • Foci count
  • Mean foci intensity
  • Total foci area
02

Population

  • Foci-positive fraction
  • Foci-per-nucleus distribution
03

Signal

  • Integrated intensity
  • Background-corrected
04

Screening

  • Per-well aggregate
  • Dose-response ready
Workflow

How It Works

1

Load

Load a fluorescence image or a folder of dose points.

2

Segment nuclei

AI separates touching nuclei to define each per-cell region.

3

Detect foci

Intranuclear puncta are detected and assigned to their parent nucleus.

4

Export

Download per-nucleus foci counts, intensities, and per-well aggregates.
