Uncertainty-aware quantitative analysis of high-throughput live cell migration data | bioRxiv Motivation Accurate quantification of live cell migration, including velocity, is essential for understanding biological processes such as development, immune function, and cancer metastasis. High-throughput migration assays generate complex, hierarchically structured datasets with technical noise, batch effects, and biological variability, introducing significant uncertainty into velocity estimates. Current statistical approaches often fail to rigorously quantify this uncertainty, undermining reproducibility and comparability across independent experimental datasets. To address this challenge, we present cellmig , a computational tool that employs Bayesian hierarchical modeling to separate biological signals from technical variation while explicitly quantifying uncertainty in migration velocity. Results cellmig provides a robust framework for analyzing cell migration assays, including dose-response studies and large-scale screens with multiple biological and technical replicates. By modeling biological variability (e.g., compound-dependent effects) and technical confounders (e.g., batch variability) within a unified Bayesian framework, cellmig estimates condition-specific effects on cell velocity with probabilistic uncertainty intervals, avoiding common pitfalls associated with null-hypothesis testing. Additionally, its generative models enable simulation of migration velocities under various assumptions, aiding experimental planning. In summary, cellmig enhances reproducibility, reliability, and biological insight in high-throughput migration studies, facilitating inter-dataset comparisons. Availability and Implementation cellmig is an open-source R package, freely available at: <https://github.com/snaketron/cellmig> Contact barbara.gruener{at}uk-essen.de, daniel.hoffmann{at}uni-due.de, simo.kitanovski{at}uni-due.de ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Substances that slow down migrating cancer cells could be anti-metastatic drug candidates. In this preprint we describe the first computational model for quantitative analysis of cell migration assays for substance screening. #bayes
