Fig. 2 Germ cell ablation in adult zebrafish induces sex reversal. (A-A′′) Representative DMSO-treated Tg(ziwi:CFP-NTR) female control and pre-treatment Tg(ziwi:CFP-NTR) 1° female (B-B′′) have large, egg-filled abdomens and light yellow fin pigmentation characteristic of wild-type females. (C-C′′) The same female depicted in B two months post Mtz treatment has a slimmer body and darker yellow fin pigmentation characteristic of a control male (D-D′′). (A-D) Low magnification pictures showing anterior body. (A′-D′) higher magnification picture showing anal fin. (A′′-D′′) magnified view of regions boxed in A′-D′. See also Fig. S2.
