Compromised stem cell proliferation but not BMP signaling weakens its competition capacity.

a
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.
b
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.
c
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.
