* Colony expansion
	Repeat experiment of colony expansion measurements for different IR1 strains


* Goniometer
	Raw data recorded during goniometer measurements of bacteria. The folder 
	includes Python plot scripts for generating figures in manuscript and SI.


* Movie
	"The movie is taken immediately after a 3 mm area was scraped away from an
	iridescent colony of strain IR1. On either side of the cleared area iride-
	scence is lost as disordered cells accumulate in this region. Then, over a 
	period of a few minutes iridescent banding pattern starts to return fol-
	lowed by invasion of the cleared area."


* SEM
	Scanning electron microscopy images of wild type IR1 and mutants. Furthermore
	we provide scripts for autocorrelation analysis and generation of size count-
	ing histograms.


* Transposon insertion sequencing IR1 mutants
	This folder contains sequencing data for IR1 mutants obtained by transposon
	insertion. The data on the two folders are also a part of this dataset:

** 4 Next Generation Sequencing GATC Data IR1 mutant 45
	These files are a part of the "Transposon insertion sequencing IR1 mutants"

** 5 Next Generation Sequencing GATC Data IR1 mutant 135
	These files are a part of the "Transposon insertion sequencing IR1 mutants"
