Movie S4. Effect of mRNA degradation on stripe formation. mRNA accumulation in the presence of degradation. The accumulated amount of mRNA per cell is shown as a function of time assuming different mRNA half-lives. The amount of accumulated mRNA is proportional to the degree of yellow false coloring. Because the absolute amount of mRNA accumulated is very different for different half-lives, each panel has been scaled according to the maximum accumulation reached during the course of each movie.
