The ranges indicates areas of higher probability of fast migrating cells compared to slow migrating cells, cells stimulated with low concentrations of EGF compared to those exposed to no EGF and cells stimulated with high concentrations of EGF compared to those exposed to no EGF. The ranges were determined by calculating crossover points between the fit distributions. N/A means no crossover points.
