2. Curve Feature Extraction basal storage Sustained (delta/ratio) Max amplitude (delta / ratio) Max slope Time of max slope Time of max amp No. of peaks Time of peaks Decrease slope Time (sec) Ca +2 (nM) Estimating the feature: X is calcium level, t is time (sec) basal level = mean(X,t=5-35) max amplitude delta = max (X,t=60-300) - basal level max amplitude ratio = max (X,t=60-300) / basal level max rise-slope = max(diff(X, t=60-300)) sustained = max (X, t=240-480)- basal level max amplitude of store = max(X,t=600-700) peaks No.  X is filtered by a low-pass filter,into Xf. dXf,the derivative of Xf is calculated. Successive groups of alternatively positive and negative groups of dXf are defined. Positive groups with sum of dXf higher than a threshold are counted as a peak. pre-stimulation peaks No.=peaks No. at t<60 early peaks No.= peaks No. at 60<t<200 late peaks No.=.= peaks No. at 200<t<600; (t=60 ligand addition, t=600 calcium store release)

3. Feature Clustering and discriminate analysis * Cluster all data (pair of control & experiment) * Test enrichment of each experiment group in each cluster expected ratio of traces in cluster enrichment = ratio of traces in cluster *Apply discriminate analysis between clusters of interest using multivariate analysis of variance, the linear combination of the original variables that has the largest separation between groups, is estimated. The separation measure is the ratio of between-group variance to within-group variance, for a certain linear combination Feature 1 Feature 2 A B C Fig. Example for cluster’s enrichment and separation. Cluster B is enriched with the blue, cluster C is enrich with the red. Both features, 1 & 2, could be used for separation
