Nature Methods has long been an advocate of the value of community experiments (or competitions/challenges) to assess and compare the performance of algorithms and software tools. In 2008 we discussed the value of these competitions and advocated that they also be used to assess the performance of less widely used algorithms such as those used for single particle tracking. Such an experiment for assessing single particle tracking was run in 2012, although the results are still awaiting publication.  Read more
