About this dataset

This dataset contains a wealth of information that can be used to explore the effectiveness of various clustering algorithms. With its inclusion of numerical measurements (X, Y, Sepal.Length, and Petal.Length) and categorical values (Species), it is possible to investigate the relationship between different types of variables and clustering performance. Additionally, by comparing results for the 3 datasets provided - moon.csv (which contains x and y coordinates), iris.csv (which contains measurements for sepal and petal lengths),and circles.csv - we can gain insights into how different data distributions affect clustering techniques such as K-Means or Hierarchical Clustering among others!

How to use the dataset

This dataset can also be a great starting point to further explore more complex clusters by using higher dimensional space variables such as color or texture that may be present in other datasets not included here but which can help to form more accurate groups when using cluster-analysis algorithms. Additionally, it could also assist in visualization projects where clusters may need to be generated such as plotting mapped data points or examining relationships between two different variables within a certain region drawn on a chart.

To use this dataset effectively it is important to understand how exactly your chosen algorithm works since some require specifying parameters beforehand while others take care of those details automatically; otherwise the interpretation may be invalid depending on the methods used alongside clustering you intend for your project. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with concepts like silhouette score and rand index - these are commonly used metrics that measure your cluster’s performance against other clusterings models so you know if what you have done so far satisfies an acceptable level of accuracy or not yet! Good luck!

Glycogen storage disease subtypes I and III (GSD I and GSD III) are monogenic inherited disorders of metabolism that disrupt glycogen metabolism. Unavailability of glucose in GSD I and induction of gluconeogenesis in GSD III modify energy sources and possibly, mitochondrial function. Abnormal mitochondrial structure and function were described in mice with GSD Ia, yet significantly less research is available in human cells and ketotic forms of the disease. We hypothesized that impaired glycogen storage results in distinct metabolic phenotypes in the extra- and intracellular compartments that may contribute to pathogenesis. Herein, we examined mitochondrial organization in live cells by spinning-disk confocal microscopy and profiled extra- and intracellular metabolites by targeted LC-MS/MS in cultured fibroblasts from healthy controls and from patients with GSD Ia, GSD Ib, and GSD III. Results from live imaging revealed that mitochondrial content and network morphology of GSD cells are comparable to that of healthy controls. Likewise, healthy controls and GSD cells exhibited comparable basal oxygen consumption rates. Targeted metabolomics followed by principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering (HC) uncovered metabolically distinct poises of healthy controls and GSD subtypes. Assessment of individual metabolites recapitulated dysfunctional energy production (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, succinate), reduced creatinine export in GSD Ia and GSD III, and reduced antioxidant defense of the cysteine and glutathione systems. Our study serves as proof-of-concept that extra- and intracellular metabolite profiles distinguish glycogen storage disease subtypes from healthy controls. We posit that metabolite profiles provide hints to disease mechanisms as well as to nutritional and pharmacological elements that may optimize current treatment strategies.

Biofilms dominate microbial life in numerous aquatic ecosystems, and in engineered and medical systems, as well. The formation of biofilms is initiated by single primary cells colonizing surfaces from the bulk liquid. The next steps from primary cells towards the first cell clusters as the initial step of biofilm formation remain relatively poorly studied. Clonal growth and random migration of primary cells are traditionally considered as the dominant processes leading to organized microcolonies in laboratory grown monocultures. Using Voronoi tessellation, we show that the spatial distribution of primary cells colonizing initially sterile surfaces from natural streamwater community deviates from uniform randomness already during the very early colonisation. The deviation from uniform randomness increased with colonisation — despite the absence of cell reproduction — and was even more pronounced when the flow of water above biofilms was multidirectional and shear stress elevated. We propose a simple mechanistic model that captures interactions, such as cell-to-cell signalling or chemical surface conditioning, to simulate the observed distribution patterns. Model predictions match empirical observations reasonably well, highlighting the role of biotic interactions even already during very early biofilm formation despite few and distant cells. The transition from single primary cells to clustering accelerated by biotic interactions rather than by reproduction may be particularly advantageous in harsh environments — the rule rather than the exception outside the laboratory.
