"Motion-triggered average (MTA)" is an algorithm to characterize pseudo-simultaneous dynamic changes in arbitrary cellular deformation and molecular activities. Using MTA, one can extract a pseudo-simultaneous time series from individually observed activities of intracellular molecules. This software was used in the analysis of the following paper: Kunida et al., Cell Reports, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112071
You can learn how to use MTA by just run:
- Step1_SingleCellMTA.m
- Step2_CellCommonMTA.m
These codes perform single-cell MTA and cell-common MTA using sample data. At the top of the codes, specify the data files and parameters as desired.
You can run MTA using only Matlab itself without using a particular toolbox.
- Matlab R2022b
MTA probably works with older versions of Matlab, but we have not checked MTA with older one.
Just download and run it on Matlab.
>> cd 'MTA folder'
>> Step1_SingleCellMTA
>> Step2_CellCommonMTA
Ensure that the folder you put your data in is consistent with the settings in the code.
