Transport properties of UNC-104∷GFP particles
| Type of process (number of particles) | Average velocity (μm/sec) | Persistence of movement at uniform velocity (sec) | Number of events |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axon (385) | Ant 1.01 ± 0.53 | 4.89 ± 3.84 | 464 |
| Ret 1.06 ± 0.58 | 4.68 ± 4.56 | 237 | |
| Dendrite (37) | Ant 1.19 ± 0.38 | 5.77 ± 3.77 | 50 |
| Ret 0.98 ± 0.48 | 3.67 ± 3.02 | 24 | |
| Axonal commissure (26) | 1.03 ± 0.37 | 5.80 ± 3.59 | 33 |
| Unidentified commissure (221) | 0.98 ± 0.51 | 4.54 ± 3.49 | 362 |
| Unidentified process (248) | 1.03 ± 0.53 | 6.81 ± 5.80 | 464 |
| All particles (917) | 1.02 ± 0.53 | 5.35 ± 4.60 | 1634 |
Particle velocities were calculated during periods of uniform movement. The number of events is larger than the number of particles because particles sometimes changed velocities or direction or paused before resuming movement. Ant, Anterograde; Ret, retrograde.
