The Top 3% in Telomere Intensity of smedwi-1⁺ Cells Are Distributed Laterodorsally along the Whole Planarian Length

(A) The column scatterplot shows all the pooled smedwi-1-positive nuclei. In red are the top 3% of cells in telomere intensity.

(B) All sections quantified in (A) displayed as telomere intensity maps for smedwi-1⁺ stem cells. In red are the stem cells with the longest telomere intensity (top 3% in A; red arrows). Anterior is to the left, dorsal is up. The magenta box indicates the region in (C).

(C) The telomeres with the strongest intensity (red arrows) are easily distinguishable.
