Single-cell analytics database ER-Diagram. Organization of the database storing information about the experiment that generated the cell movie (Experiment table) and the time lapse microscopy characteristics (Frame table). In addition, we store the image analysis generated information for each colony in the field of view (Colony Table) and for each segmented cell within each colony. Specifically, single-cell attribute values changing at every time point are stored in the Cell Instant Table, while cell life attributes that characterize the whole cell life trajectory are stored in the Cell Table. The database summarizes the cell movie image analysis completely and can be used for downstream single-cell analytics and visualization. Moreover it forms the basis for building repositories of cell movies under different conditions for large scale high throughput systems microbiology experiments
