Breakdown of cell counting data for the mean percentage/nodose ganglion of neural crest-derived cells (GFP⁺) that expressed Elavl3/4 (i.e., that were neurons) or Phox2b after vagal neural fold grafts from GFP-transgenic donors. E, embryonic day; n, number; NC, neural crest; Otic, otic placode level; S, somite level; s.d., standard deviation.

s.d.	0.2	2.6	3.3	1.8
n nodose ganglia	4	10	14	7b
n embryos	4	10	14	6

Maximum n cells	782	1679	1679	435

^aOne E8.5 embryo.

^bOne unilaterally grafted E6.5 embryo had a large contribution of labelled neural crest cells to both nodose ganglia, so both were analysed.
