Release notes

v1.5.3​

October 22, 2026

CytoCanvas™ 1.5.3 introduces the following features and improvements. This version requires visualization output from Cells2Stats™ 2.0.0 or later.

New Features​

  • Cell groups: Upload a cell group file to classify cells into named categories and view them as colored overlays on the flow cell. Import an exported cell selection as a cell group without editing the file.
  • Cell selections: Use the lasso tool to select a region of cells, save the selection, and export the selected cells as a CSV file.
  • 3' transcriptome: Visualize 3' transcriptome data from Cytos™ Multimodal Pooled Screening runs when the run includes it.
  • Cytos Protein: Display Cytos Protein targets from immunofluorescence imaging, including fixed panels and custom proteins.
  • Demo datasets: Load new Cytos demo datasets directly in CytoCanvas.

Improvements​

  • Morphology controls: Updated morphology controls let you show or hide Cell Paint channels, set contrast, match intensity across channels, and compare each target with the red or green background image.
  • Guide RNA: Guide RNA targets appear in a Guide RNA filter so you can map them across the flow cell.
  • Zoom: Set an exact viewport position and zoom level so you can return to the same field of view.
