STAR Protoc. 2021 Sep 9;2(3):100808. doi: 10.1016/j.xpro.2021.100808. eCollection 2021 Sep 17.

Abstract

This protocol describes the step-by-step analysis of the multicolor (one-, two-, or three-color) two- and three-dimensional dSTORM (direct STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy) data using MATLAB-based script package Grafeo. Grafeo primarily uses pointillist data visualization and analysis frameworks, including the nearest neighbors, approach, Voronoi tessellation, Delaunay triangulation, Ripley's (K, L) and two-point correlation functions, and graph-based clustering. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Peaucelle et al. (2020), Haas et al., 2018, Haas et al. (2020b).
