In the last decade, automated acquisition systems for microscopic images have advanced dramatically due to advances in their controlling computer systems, and nowadays, it is possible to automatically acquire sets of tiling-images consisting of large number, more than 1000, of images from large areas of specimens. However, there has been no simple and inexpensive system to efficiently select images containing mitotic cells among these images. In this paper, a classification system of chromosomal images by deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) that can be easily handled by non-data scientists was applied. With this system, models suitable for our own samples could be easily built on a Macintosh computer with Create ML. As examples, models constructed by learning using chromosome images derived from various plant species were able to classify images containing mitotic cells among samples from plant species not used for learning in addition to samples from the species used. The system also worked for cells in tissue sections and tetrads. Since this system is inexpensive and can be easily trained via deep learning using scientists’ own samples, it can be used not only for chromosomal image analysis but also for analysis of other biology-related images. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagakiKiyotaka en-aut-sei=Nagaki en-aut-mei=Kiyotaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FurutaTomoyuki en-aut-sei=Furuta en-aut-mei=Tomoyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamajiNaoki en-aut-sei=Yamaji en-aut-mei=Naoki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuniyoshiDaichi en-aut-sei=Kuniyoshi en-aut-mei=Daichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshiharaMegumi en-aut-sei=Ishihara en-aut-mei=Megumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KishimaYuji en-aut-sei=Kishima en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MurataMinoru en-aut-sei=Murata en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HoshinoAtsushi en-aut-sei=Hoshino en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakatsukaHirotomo en-aut-sei=Takatsuka en-aut-mei=Hirotomo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Agricultural and Food Science, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=National Institute for Basic Biology kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Graduate School of Science and Technology, Nara Institute of Science and Technology kn-affil= en-keyword=Machine learning kn-keyword=Machine learning en-keyword=deep learning kn-keyword=deep learning en-keyword=mitotic cell kn-keyword=mitotic cell en-keyword=chromosome kn-keyword=chromosome en-keyword=tetrad kn-keyword=tetrad en-keyword=microscope kn-keyword=microscope END
