TABLE 1:

Output parameters from DoC, DBSCAN, and Clus-DoC.

Algorithm Output parameter
DoC DoC score for each localization for protein A and protein B
Percentage of colocalized points for protein A and protein B (threshold based)
DBSCAN plus contour mapping Percentage of localizations in clusters
Number of clusters in ROI
Number of localizations per cluster
Circularity of clusters
Size of clusters
Absolute molecular density within clusters
Relative molecular density within clusters
Clus-DoC Distinguishes colocalized versus noncolocalized clusters for protein A or protein B:
- Number of molecules per cluster
- Circularity of clusters
- Size of clusters
- Absolute or relative density within clusters
- Distribution of total or colocalized molecules between colocalized and noncolocalized clusters
Distinguishes cluster populations based on density/size/number of localizations per cluster:
- Average DoC score
- Distribution of DoC scores
- Percentage of colocalized molecules within each cluster population
- Distribution of colocalized molecules between the subpopulations
- Cluster morphology parameters
Isolates nonclustered molecules:
- Average DoC score
- Proportion of total molecules and colocalized molecules that are not in clusters
- Percentage of nonclustered molecules that are colocalized
