Blimp1:gfp primordial germ cells
At embryonic day 7.5, most XX primordial germ cells show an inactive X chromosome like their somatic neighbour cells. Blimp1:gfp primordial germ cells (green) after 2 days of culture showing a distinct trimetylation of histone 3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3) nuclear accumulation (pink) indicative of the inactive X chromosome (see Chuva de Sousa Lopes et al., e30).
