We measured cell shape properties and characterized network topologies for 136 single-cell clones derived from the YUMM1.7 and YUMMER1.7 mouse melanoma cell lines. Using an unsupervised clustering algorithm, we identified six distinct morphological subclasses. We further observed differences in tumor growth and invasion dynamics across subclasses in an in vitro 3D spheroid model. Compared to existing methods for quantifying 2D or 3D phenotype, our analytical method requires less time, needs no specialized equipment and is capable of much higher throughput, making it ideal for applications such as high-throughput drug screening and clinical diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>https:\/\/github.com\/trevor-chan\/Melanoma_NetworkMorphology.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btac833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,27]],"date-time":"2022-12-27T15:25:21Z","timestamp":1672154721000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Biophysical informatics reveals distinctive phenotypic signatures and functional diversity of single-cell lineages"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2327-5050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trevor J","family":"Chan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, Yale University , New Haven, CT 06511, USA"},{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania , Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1369-6556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xingjian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, Yale University , New Haven, CT 06511, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6881-8130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Mak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, Yale University , New Haven, CT 06511, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023010801255796700_btac833-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5615","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-06-0169","article-title":"Most early disseminated cancer cells detected in bone marrow of breast cancer patients have a putative breast cancer stem cell phenotype","volume":"12","author":"Balic","year":"2006","journal-title":"Clin.
