Automated Derivation of Parameters of Microtubule Dynamic Instability using Iterative Robust Outlier Removal. (a) Kymograph of a dynamic microtubule. (b) In the length versus time plot obtained from tracking, RANSAC first identifies the largest subset of consecutive time points that follow near-linear growth as a growth event. (c) To identify all growth events, RANSAC iteratively removes time points belonging to an identified growth event from the sampling set and repeats the RANSAC sampling until no further growth events can be identified. (d) The final graph containing detected growth and shrinkage events, as well as catastrophes and rescues.
