Contributions

E.S. and E.W. conceived of the presented idea. A.B., with initial help from E.W., developed the automated workflow and performed all the analysis. A.B. took the lead in writing the manuscript with help from E.W. and under supervision from S.B. and E.S. Sample preparation, manual crypt counts, and manual image segmentation were performed by D.N., N.S., T.W., K.L., A.D., E.A., and N.M.
