In situ hybridisation of a lacZ probe in the testes. (a) Testes were dissected from males containing a single autosomal or X-linked insertion of each reporter gene construct and hybridised with a probe specific to the lacZ reporter gene. Dark blue areas indicate the presence of reporter gene mRNA. The magnification is × 200. (b) Enlargement of the testis apex from males with autosomal insertions of each reporter gene construct. The CG10920 and CG12681 show very low expression in the apical tip, which is enriched for mitotic cells. The magnification is × 600.
