contents A birth-death-move process with mutations is a Markov model for a system of marked particles in interaction, that move over time, with births and deaths. In addition the mark of each particle may also change, which constitutes a mutation. Assuming a parametric form for this model, we derive its likelihood expression and prove its local asymptotic normality. The efficiency and asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator, with an explicit expression of its covariance matrix, is deduced. The underlying technical assumptions are showed to be satisfied by several natural parametric specifications. As an application, we leverage this model to analyse the joint dynamics of two types of proteins in a living cell, that are involved in the exocytosis process. Our approach enables to quantify the so-called colocalization phenomenon, answering an important question in microbiology.
