Fig.Ā 8From: Comparative study of Hippo pathway genes in cellular conveyor belts of a ctenophore and a cnidarianQuantification, in the central versus peripheral area of the C. hemisphaerica exumbrellar epidermis, of observed profiles of anti-Yki staining. a Diagram of the medusa showing approximate localisation of the two areas (blue dotted line central area; red dotted line peripheral area). bu tentacle bulb, go gonad, ma manubrium, tt tentacle. b Graph showing observed numbers of nuclei classified in four categories: no anti-Yki staining; anti-Yki staining in the nucleus but not in associated cytoplasm; anti-Yki staining in nucleus and cytoplasm; anti-Yki staining in cytoplasm but not in nucleus. Blue central area; red: peripheral area. Proportions of nuclei in each category that showed EdU staining are indicated with green hatching. A total of 580 nuclei were counted (282 in the blue zone and 298 in the red zoneāraw data given in Additional file 12) using five medusae from the same experimentBack to article page
