Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a-b ) Representative images of: ( a ) an M-phase GSC showing more compact old H3-enriched regions than new H3-enriched regions (positive with a mitotic marker anti-H3S10ph, H3S10P or S10P ; ( b ) an M-phase 8-cell SG showing equally compact old H3-enriched and new H3-enriched regions (positive with S10P) in the control wild-type testes. ( c-d ) Representative images of: ( c ) an M-phase GSC and ( d ) an M-phase 8-cell SG in the pola50 +/- testes, both showing more compact old H3-enriched regions than new H3-enriched regions (positive with a mitotic marker anti-H3T3ph, H3T3P or T3P. ( e ) Compaction index in log 2 scale: Control GSC= 1.27± 0.15 (n=15), Control 8-cell SG= 0.41± 0.05 (n=12), polα50 +/- GSC= 1.21± 0.15 (n=13), and polα50 +/- 8-cell SG= 1.48± 0.14 (n=11). The control compaction index data are from with permission. See for details. All ratios: Mean± SEM. Mann-Whitney test, ****: P < 10 -4 , ns: not significant.
