Standard deviation normalized displacement distribution of RNA-protein particles. (a and b) Displacement distributions over multiple timescales along the long axis of (a) E. coli and the pooled x and y displacements in (b) S. cerevisiae. Each individual trajectory is normalized by its standard deviation before being pooled into the ensemble distribution. Distributions are then made dimensionless by the overall standard deviation to show the parameter-free comparison of the normalized displacement, χ_δ, to the Gaussian and Laplace distributions.
