Figure 9.

Percentile polysomal profiles of several known subcellularly localized transcripts. (a) Percentile polysomal profiles of nanos, oskar and bicoid from 0-2 hour old embryos. (b) Percentile polysomal profiles of caudal mRNAs and hunchback mRNAs at 0-2 hours, 4-6 hours and 8-10 hours. Two sets of microarrays prepared from independent gradient-fractionated RNAs are shown as the open and closed circles individually. The right panel illustrates their relative mRNA abundance (y-axis) at each time period (x-axis).
