a Sample traces of cerulean fluorescence (top) and mCherry fluorescence (bottom), showing correlation (left) and anti-correlation (right) between the signals. b Pearson correlation distribution plot computed for the 39 co-labeled tracks. Number of entry (c) and shedding (d) events for both channels for different tracking intervals: (left) 2–20’, (center) 20–40’, and (right) 40–60’. e Boxplots depicting distributions of durations between an entry events (left), and durations between shedding events (right), for cerulean fluorescence (blue). Burst amplitudes recorded for entry (f) and shedding (g) events for the mCherry channel as function of the different tracking intervals: (left) 2–20’, (center) 20–40’, and (right) 40–60’. In (e–g) On each box, the central mark indicates the median, and the bottom and top edges of the box indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The value for ‘Whisker’ corresponds to ±1.5 IQR (interquartile rate) and extends to the adjacent value, which is the most extreme data value that is not an outlier. The outliers are plotted individually as plus signs. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
