gemin3hg106 mutations impair regeneration of caudal fins and livers.a Caudal fin regeneration in the control and gemin3hg106 mutant embryos at 4 days post amputation. Arrows point to the pigment gap which is often missing in the mutants. Scale bar, 100 µm. b Quantification of the area of regenerated caudal fins in the gemin3hg106 mutants. c Liver regeneration in the control and gemin3hg106 mutant embryos at 3 days post ablation. The CFP fluorescence labels the regenerated livers. Scale bar, 100 µm. d Quantification of the area of the regenerated livers. Representative images are shown. Liver tissue is labeled by Tg(fabp10a:CFP-NTR). Graphs show mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001. Data for each analysis were collected from ~40 embryos produced from a pairwise heterozygous incross (for fin regeneration), or a pairwise heterozygous incross in the background of the transgene Tg(fabp10a:CFP-NTR) (for liver regeneration).
