In order to test this possibility, we performed permutation tests through which the geometric pattern of TUNEL-positive cells was compared to random geometric patterns each generated by reallocating the positive signals to n randomly chosen positions among all observed nucleus positions (i.e. "1200"+"60") on the egg surface.
Due to the constraints, nucleus positions with the number of nearest neighbours other than 6 should necessarily appear in the pattern.
We compared the observed pattern to random patterns each generated by reallocating the n observed apoptotic TC nuclei to n randomly chosen positions among all observed TC nucleus positions on the surface of intact or mechanically-treated eggs.
Cell nuclei were uniquely described by a surface triangulation graph, in which vertices were associated with nucleus positions, all faces being triangles formed by neighbouring vertices, and edges connecting the nearest neighbours only.
The geometrical order of 60 IFCs positioned on the chorion surface could be characterized either by the regular polygonal pattern of lateral membranes or by the regular set of nucleus positions, both characteristics being intimately related (Fig. 2e).

These proteins stretch out into the cytosol and are involved in the nucleus positioning.
This might reflect again a problem with the nucleus positioning machinery.
This feature for SA and SE cells could reflect a delay in anaphase onset due to abnormal nucleus positioning.
The extensive analysis of nucleus position patterns revealed a (nearly) tetrahedral symmetry of cell distribution (Fig. 5 a d).
Less frequently, we observed two bacteria that were symmetrically distributed from each other, considering the nucleus position (Fig. 2A-c).
With χ = 2 for the sphere, the nucleus position pattern of spherical egg should contain at least 12 pentavalent positions (in the case of N7 = 0).

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
