Co-expression of Siwi-D670A increases granule-to-cell intensity ratio of BmSpnE and BmQin foci. (Upper) Representative Z-projections (maximum intensity) of mCherry-BmSpnE and mCherry-BmQin foci. AcGFP signal from FITC channel is not shown. Scale bar 8 μm. (Bottom) Average intensity ratio from each of the independent Z-stacks (n=6 per set) is quantified (see Materials and Methods) and depicted as box plots. Representative data from N ≥ 3 independent experiments are shown. P-values were calculated by Asymptotic Wilcoxon rank sum test.
