Colocalization Benchmark Source

<p>The Colocalization Benchmark Source (CBS) is a free collection of downloadable images to test and validate the degree of <a href="/facts/Colocalization/1bLQyr4o">colocalization</a> of markers in any <a href="/facts/Fluorescence_microscopy/eMwIdrRR">fluorescence microscopy</a> studies. Colocalization is a visual phenomenon when two molecules of interest are associated with the same structures in the cells and potentially share common functional characteristics.
</p><p>CBS provides researchers with reference tools to verify the results of <a href="/facts/Quantitative_research/C1t5h075">quantitative</a> colocalization measurements. It serves as a specialised <a href="/facts/Bioimage_informatics/jv4scGuK">bioimage informatics</a> <a href="/facts/Database/VYcpkevb">database</a> of <a href="/facts/Computer_simulation/Re6o8vzN">computer-simulated</a> images with exactly known (pre-defined) values of colocalization. They were created using image simulation <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithm</a>. These <a href="/facts/Benchmark_(surveying)/KtkW8Wvo">benchmark</a> images can be downloaded as sets as well as separately. By calculating and comparing the values of coefficients on their images versus benchmark images, researchers can validate the results of quantitative colocalization studies. The use of CBS images was described in a number of studies.
