The percent of all cells with at least one filopodia. Average number of filopodia per cells from cells with at least one filopodia. Cortex:cytoplasm ratio is intensity ratio of a 0.8 µm band around the periphery compared to the cytoplasm. N is number of experiments, n is number of cells. SEM is standard error of the mean. GFP-VASP and GFP-DdMyo7-Tail fail to efficiently target to filopodia tips and thus were not counted (n.c.) in this analysis. (See source data: Figure 4—source data 1 and 2; Figure 5—source data 1–3; Figure 6—source data 1–5; Figure 7—source data 1, 2, 4 and 5).
