Dual-color photoactivatable fluorescent proteins are more effective for monitoring cell migratory behaviors because non-photoconverted neighboring cells remain fluorescently marked in a separate color.

Quoted textsource-backed

The dual-color PAFPs were more effective to monitor cell migratory behaviors, since non-photoconverted neighboring cells were fluorescently marked with a separate color.
