The percentage of expressing cells was determined by using a GFP+ gate, which was set to exclude 99.9% of wild-type (WT) cells. Data were collected from at least four litters in each case. The data for the MommeD9 colony were collected using a different laser. Each mutant line has a significantly different expression profile to that of wild-type littermates, reproducible over many generations. *p ≤ 0.0001.
