Fig. 4From: Transcriptomic and functional analysis of the oosome, a unique form of germ plasm in the wasp Nasonia vitripennismRNAs localized in the oosome but are not maintained in the pole cells. Images of whole mount in situ hybridized embryos for transcripts that showed strong enrichment in the oosome in the pre-blastoderm stage, but were not maintained in the pole cells. All embryos are aligned and grouped into three columns (pre-blastoderm, blastoderm, and post-gastrulation) according to their embryogenesis stages, with posterior side to the right and dorsal side on the top.
