(a) Representative examples of histograms and fits to gamma distributions of the mRNA counts. As shown in the lower panels, the theoretical cumulative distribution functions are close to the empirical ones, indicating the good quality of the fit. (b) Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) coefficients and p-values of the fits to gamma distributions for the 21 genes considered, for all datasets at each available cell stage. All p-values above 0.05 are shown in the same yellow.
