From: YA is needed for proper nuclear organization to transition between meiosis and mitosis in Drosophila
Effect of Ya2 mutation on distribution of meiotic stages. Wildtype (Oregon R P2) and X^X, Ya2/Y (Ya2 mutant) eggs were activated and staged based on DAPI staining. Eggs with apparently condensed disorganized chromatin are grouped into the "unassigned" category, although some of the eggs in this category likely had completed meiosis. There are no statistically significant differences in the distribution of stages of wildtype vs. YA-deficient eggs as assessed by Fisher's exact test; for each of the nine categories of meiotic stages, comparison of the fraction of wildtype eggs in a stage to the fraction of YA-deficient eggs in that stage gave p values ranging from p = 1 to p = 0.061. Wildtype total n = 327 eggs. Ya2 total n = 280 eggs.
