9:30 am – 10:00 pm

STORM

  • L2 F02 F03 — F03-p3-750 not very bright given size
  • F02 stain looks like it could be better — a bit of background here too
  • imaging L2 F02 F03 anyway, shorter exposure
  • 9 pm set up imaging of L3 E08-p2-6 E09-p3-7
  • not as bright as expected for these loci. Remade Glox buffer (6 days old now), spots brighter

cleanup

  • froze samples, try plate-column cleanup tomorrow.

PH polymerization

  • working on manuscript revisions / additional data analysis.
  • quantify total overlap by fraction of localizations of one channel within localization precision (~25 nm) of other channel. I had done this for PH-WT and not PH-ML before. Quick estimate drawn from last cell of PH-ML data (20% PH-ML with PC and 30% PC with PH-ML). Should go back and compute all cells and average.
  • quantifying distribution of non-co-clustered populations — this we basically had already, just plot the ~coclustered mlists and run cluster size stats on those.
  • quantifying correlation of cluster sizes. — finished off analysis started yesterday. Approach uses an OR mask and then overlap to call clusters, so all localizations from two clusters that share a portion of pixels are counted — this reduces artificat from partial misalignment on the 20-50 nm scale due to residual uncorrected drift and residual uncorrected chromatic aberration.

Other Notes

  • new GSA membership
