Extended Data Fig. 7: Quantifying entanglement via analysis of the topology and geometry of a snowflake yeast cluster.

a, We measured entanglement of individual components by fitting a convex hull around each component, and determining whether the other component overlaps with the space bounded by this convex hull. Here we just show the convex hull for the blue component, which overlaps with the red component. These components are thus part of the same entangled component. b, Using this approach, we identified the components within a sub-volume of a macroscopic snowflake yeast, and used a percolation analysis to examine the fraction of the biomass that is part of the same entangled component (coloured in red).
