Chromatin Data Analysis

  • troubleshooting failed drift correction using auto-correlation
  • reprocessed all recent 2 color data
  • working on new method of quantifying overlap — just average distance to all self points vs average distance to all flanking domain points. If this is near 1, the domains are highly entangled.
  • should probably normalize this by radius of gyration.

Data Observations

  • started exporting 3-color maps of blue regions for figures
  • all my current blue regions are flanked on both sides by yellow chromatin. No Blue-black.

Important control

  • 2D projection estimates of radius of gyration may be systematic underestimates

Paperwork

  • uploaded final version of BWF application

STORM

  • attempting imaging of chromatin L4E7
  • some cells still have 2 spots, occasionally also satellites. Most look more 1 spot as expected.
  • should still quantify, not sure its 80% paired, probably leaning that way though.
  • major lag issues with hal recording
  • dave bleaching issue does not appear to be reproducible
  • had system in true TIRF for a while, 647 spots inside nuclei completely invisible (all cells/nuclei 647 stain data completely invisible, had me confused that I lost cells for a while).
  • cells a bit sparse, I may have missed the polyLysine coating on these guys.
