Splicing speckles moved diffusively and followed a simple random walk model. Diffusion coefficients were estimated by fitting the equation MSD=4Dt to MSD versus time curves (an example is in Figure 4B). n1 is the number of speckles used to estimate the diffusion coefficient in each condition. Values are slope ± standard deviation of the slope. The areas of speckles were measured by using Columbus Data Storage and Analysis System and the values shown in the table are the average of n2 number of speckles. Values are mean± standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistically significant differences between control and condition are indicated by symbols:
