The data supporting each of the Figures in the manuscript were provided in a file specific for that Figure. Some figures may have more than one associated file based on the number of panels. Each file is in comma-separated value (csv) format and contains the data used to generate that Figure. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Beidler, J., K. Baker, G.
