ABSTRACT
Meiotic crossovers play a vital role in proper chromosome segregation and evolution of most sexually reproducing organisms. 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. As a proof of concept, we analyzed a large image data set from wild-type and selected gene knock-out mutants to quantify crossover frequency, interference, chromosome missegregation, and gene conversion events. The deep learning-based method has the potential to accelerate the discovery of new genes involved in meiotic recombination in S. cerevisiae such as the underlying factors controlling crossover frequency and interference.
