Oocytes are incorrectly positioned on loss of gemin3. Compared to wild type in which the oocyte is always found at the posterior of stage 7 egg chambers, in the absence of gemin3, the oocyte was frequently misplaced. Egg chamber posterior is bottom left. DCP1 (A, B) and eIF4E (C, D) were used to identify the oocyte since they are expressed in all germline cells but accumulate in the oocyte (surrounded by a broken line with arrow pointing to the karyosome).
