Competition between bgcn or bam mutant GSCs and their neighboring wild-type GSCs in the same niche requires E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion.

The percentage of the germaria carrying a marked full GSC clone at a given time point = the number of germaria in which all GSCs are marked/total germaria examined.
The percentage of germaria carrying a partial marked GSC clone at a given time point = the number of germaria in which at least one GSC is not marked and also at least one GSC is marked/total germaria examined.
The percentage of germaria carrying a marked GSC clone at a given time point = the number of germaria carrying a marked full or partial GSC clone/total germaria examined.
The percentage of the GSCs marked = the number of marked GSCs/total GSCs examined.
