Story summary

Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Heidelberg developed MAGIC to identify cells with chromosomal abnormalities linked to cancer.
MAGIC combines automated microscopy, single-cell sequencing, and AI to detect cells with micronuclei.
The system can analyze nearly 100,000 cells in under a day, accelerating research.
The study found that more than 10% of cell divisions produce chromosomal abnormalities and that the rate doubles with p53 mutations.
