Table 3 Germline transmission of donor and chimeras 1 .

From: Germline replacement by blastula cell transplantation in the fish medaka

  1. 1Fertile male and female after fertility test (see Table 1) were randomly chosen for test cross with albino host i3 of opposite sexes, and F1 embryos were examined for Vg, Lr and pigmentation phenotypes.
  2. 2n, total number of fish individuals tested; N, numbers of germline transmiters for pigment, Vg and Lr.
  3. 3Percentage germline transmission was calibrated to 50% (heterozygosity) for pigment and to 1/3 for Vg and Lr by doubling the observed percentage values for pigment and tripling the observed percentage values for Vg and Lr, respectively.
  4. 4Average of calibrated percentage values for pigment, Vg and Lr.
  5. 5For chimera classes see Fig. 2 and Table 1.
