Fig. 1. xKIFI3B expression characteristics during oogenesis and embryogenesis. (A–G) xKIF13B mRNA was detected by whole mount in situ hybridization. During oogenesis, xKIF138 mRNA localizes to the tip of the vegetal cortex; A. early (stage II) oocytes; and B, late (stage III–IV) oocytes. At the 4-cell stage, xKIFI3B mRNA is enriched in the granular germ plasm islands at the vegetal pole (C, vegetal pole view). At gastrula stage, the transcript is detected in the region of the primordial germ cells (D, blastoporus view). During neurulation, xKIF13B mRNA starts to be expressed in the neural tube and in the cranial neural crest cells (E, anterior view, and F, dorsal view). At tailbud stage, xKIFI3B mRNA is expressed in PGCs (arrow), neural crest cells, brain, spinal cord and notochord (G, lateral view of the embryo with the head to the left).
