Precise excision of the progenitor insertion.
Germline stem cells (GSCs) from newly eclosed mthEx28 males show an S-phase index similar to wild-type. A decrease in S-phase index is seen in GSCs from mutant males that have been aged for 35 days, similar to wild-type aged controls. mthEx28 males show a decrease in hub cell number over time, as occurs in wild-type controls.
