Extended Data Fig. 1: Vertex angles, edge numbers, and domain areas for different experimental conditions.

The statistics of 3-fold vertices are analyzed as in Fig. 3 for several snapshots under different total concentrations of MinD and MinE indicated in the figure. The data was recorded in the experiments for ref. 20. The snapshots for each concentration combination stem from different fields of view of the same sample, which were prepared separately for the different concentration combinations. The fitted triple vertices are overlayed over the pattern (MinE fluorescence intensity in blue, MinD fluorescence intensity in red) in white. The 4-fold vertices are marked by black circles. a The aggregated statistics for the snapshot analyzed in Fig. 3 (first panel in this figure) and a second one are shown. b The three histograms are obtained from three snapshots, two of which are shown. At these total concentrations of MinD and MinE, the pattern transitions to a labyrinthine structure (second panel) which is seen in the histograms by the large domains with many edges. c, d Two further concentration combinations (two analyzed images each) show the same statistics of Turing foams as the condition a.
