Description: To understand the structural nature of localized vasa RNA aggregates in zebrafish embryogenesis, we performed transmission electron microscopy on four-cell embryos that are labeled for vasa RNA using in situ hybridization and an electron-dense substrate (see Materials and Methods)..Based on the presence of the vasa RNA, which is embedded in electron-dense material that resembles nuage, we conclude that this structure is the zebrafish germ plasm.
