Please confirm that your manuscript meets all of the relevant points:

1. Formatting

| |Yes |No |NA |

|The paper is within the allotted page limit | | | |

|The Methods section is provided in the same Word document as the main text, after the figure legends | | | |

|(numbering of references used only in the full methods section continues on from the end of the main | | | |

|references). | | | |

|The main figures do not contain tables as sub-panels; tables should be provided as separate display | | | |

|items. | | | |

|The main figures are supplied in an editable format. | | | |

|If additional figures and tables are submitted as Extended Data (ED): | | | |

|There are no more than 10 ED items. | | | |

|Each ED item is referenced in the main text in order. | | | |

|Each ED item fits on a single page. | | | |

|ED figure legends are listed sequentially at the end of the main text file, not in the ED files. | | | |

|There are no titles or footnotes in the ED files. | | | |

|If Supplementary Information (SI) is submitted: | | | |

|Where possible, the SI is combined and submitted as a single PDF. | | | |

|SI figure legends are displayed under the individual figures. | | | |

|Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Georgia Tech, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, University of Rhode Island or | | | |

|Caltech authors: a signed waiver letter accepting our license to publish terms and conditions is | | | |

|provided. | | | |

|Video files are referred to as videos, not movies, throughout the text. | | | |

|Videos are created using H.264 encoding, with a standard aspect ratio of 16:9 (4:3 is second best) and | | | |

|are not compressed. | | | |

|Video titles (1 short sentence) and legends (max. 100 words) are submitted in an editable format. | | | |

|All relevant subject terms have been identified during online submission; multiple subject pathways, if| | | |

|relevant, are recommended to allow your paper to be found by as many readers as possible. | | | |

|End notes statement |Yes |No |NA |

|Detailed author contribution statement making clear who performed every type of experiment and analysis| | | |

|included? | | | |

|Competing financial interest statement included? | | | |

2. Reporting Standards (more information can be found on the reporting summary)

|Figure legends |Yes |No |NA |

|If representative data from one experiment are shown, is it indicated out of how many experiments they| | | |

|represent? | | | |

|Is n noted (exact number, not range)? | | | |

|Is the nature of the entity n defined (e.g. number of cells, animals, observations)? | | | |

|Are error bars used and defined? | | | |

|Are replicates defined as biological or technical? | | | |

|Are statistical tests named? | | | |

|Is there a P value for each test? | | | |

|Are individual data points plotted if n ................
