Cover Caption: Localization of oskar mRNA (in cyan, labelled with a set of FIT probes) to the posterior pole of a developing Drosophila oocyte (on the right). oskar mRNA is transcribed in the nurse cells (on the left) and transported through cytoplasmic bridges into the oocyte by cytoplasmic dynein. In the oocyte, localization of oskar to the posterior pole is mediated by kinesin heavy chain (in red, labelled with mKate2 fluorescent protein). Note, that oskar mRNA is exclusively expressed in the female germ-line (nurse cells and the oocyte) and it is absent from the somatic follicular epithelium (on the right, marked by kinesin) surrounding the oocyte.
