Supplemental Fig. S7. Quantification of the regularity of the centriole spacing (A) Local basal body density for all recorded multiciliated skin cells in Xenopus embryos. (B) Local basal body density for a cell of a Co-MO (4 ng) injected embryo. (C) Histogram of the local basal body density in the control cell depicted in B. The green lines mark the 25 % and 75 % quantiles. (D,E) Analysis as in B,C for a cell of a TB-MO ezrin (4 ng, low dosage) injected embryo. The larger variation of the local spot density results in a wider distribution with a larger interquartile range. (F) Homogeneity of the basal body distribution measured by the interquartile range of the local spot density. Each point corresponds to one cell. The blue boxes denote the 25 % and 75 % quantile, the red line indicates the median. The p-values (computed with the two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test) show signifcant differences to the control.
