The ability to gain quantifiable, single-cell data from time-lapse microscopy images is dependent upon cell segmentation and tracking. Here, we present a detailed protocol for obtaining quality time-lapse movies and introduce a method to identify (segment) and track cells based on machine learning techniques (Fiji's Trainable Weka Segmentation) and custom, open-source Python scripts. To provide a hands-on experience, we provide datasets obtained using the aforementioned protocol.
