Table 1 Defects in F1 embryos derived from crossing wild type males to F0 females that had been injected with npm2a or npm2b CRISPR mRNA as embryos

From: Double maternal-effect: duplicated nucleoplasmin 2 genes, npm2a and npm2b, with essential but distinct functions are shared by fish and tetrapods

  2. This table demonstrates representative data from a single clutch from each mutant female. Embryos did not develop at all (please refer to Fig. 7e-l). Embryos had a partially cellularized blastodisc that was sitting atop an enlarged yolk syncytial layer (please refer to arrows in Fig. 7n and o)
