Fig. 6. Altering sox7 expression reduces PGC number. One-cell embryos were injected in the vegetal region with sox7dCEnR RNA (200 pg) and Xtsox7 RNA (200 pg), alone and in combination. Tailbud embryos were analyzed for xpat expression by WISH. Representative images are shown (A-D). The number of PGCs per embryo was quantified (E). Uninjected control (ctrl), n=28; sox7dCEnR, n=24; Xtsox7, n=27; sox7dCEnR and Xtsox7, n=28. *P<0.05 compared with uninjected control. #P<0.05 compared with sox7dCEnR. Analysis based on at least two independent experiments. Image published in: Owens DA et al. (2017) Copyright © 2017. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
