Results
Specimen 4A left: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Early streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4A left Expression was detected in a stripe, several cell diameters wide on the side of the egg cylinder. The stripe extended proximally from the embryonic/extraembryonic junction almost to the distal tip and was on the opposite side of the primitive streak.

Specimen 4A center: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Midstreak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4A center Expression continued in a midline stripe on the anterior side.
TS10: mesendoderm Present Regionally restricted 4A center Expression was detected in mesendodermal wings in the anterior region of the streak.

Specimen 4A right: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Slightly older than midstreak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4A right Expression continued in a midline stripe on the anterior side.
TS10: mesendoderm Present Regionally restricted 4A right Expression was detected in migrating mesendodermal wings arising in the anterior region of the streak. The domain next to the primitive streak expanded and extended more into the anterior half of the embryo.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Early streak. Also stained for T (assay MGI:1339574).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression was detected in a stripe anteriorly.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Early streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Late streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: mesendoderm Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression was detected in anterior mesendoderm.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Late streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: node Absent 4D

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Late streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression was present in the anterior half of the embryo, was absent from the cardiac progenitor region and no longer extended to the embryonic/extraembryonic junction: it was set back medially and fell away laterally with a relatively sharp boundary.

Specimen 4H: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Late streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo endoderm Present 4H
TS10: embryo mesoderm Present 4H
TS10: embryo ectoderm Absent 4H
TS10: node Absent 4H

Specimen 4I: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Late streak.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

TS10: embryo ectoderm Absent 4I

Specimen 4J: embryonic day 7.75 (more )
Note: Head-fold stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo endoderm Present Regionally restricted 4J Expression was seen in a wedge of mesoderm and endoderm at the anterior tip of the embryo.
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 4J Expression was seen in a wedge of mesoderm and endoderm at the anterior tip of the embryo.

Specimen 4K: embryonic day 7.75 (more )
Note: Head-fold stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo endoderm Present Regionally restricted 4K Expression was seen in a wedge of mesoderm and endoderm at the anterior tip of the embryo. The positive zone clearly excluded cardiogenic mesoderm and its underlying endoderm.
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 4K Expression was seen in a wedge of mesoderm and endoderm at the anterior tip of the embryo. The positive zone clearly excluded cardiogenic mesoderm and its underlying endoderm.

Specimen 5A: embryonic day 7.75 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression is present in the prechordal and head mesoderm.

Specimen 6A: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Present Regionally restricted 6A Expression was reduced to a trace at the anterior ventral midline.
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 6A Two stripes of expression were apparent in anterior paraxial mesoderm.

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Late headfold.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 6B Two stripes of expression were apparent in anterior paraxial mesoderm.
TS11: mesendoderm Absent 6B There is no expression in the anterior mesendoderm.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: trunk paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 6C Expression was present in four stripes in paraxial mesoderm.

Specimen 6E: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: tail paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 6E Expression was present in four stripes in the paraxial mesoderm. The weaker anteriormost stripes mark the rostral region of the most recently formed somites, while the stronger posterior stripes are within the presomitic mesoderm.

Specimen 6F: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: tail somite Present Regionally restricted 6F Expression was present only within nascent and newly formed somites within the tail.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo Present Regionally restricted 7_left In severely affected mutant embryos, expression was restricted to the distal tip and was absent at the embryonic/extraembryonic junction, marked by a prominent constriction.

Specimen Otx2-/- (center): embryonic day 7.5; Otx2tm1Sla/Otx2tm1Sla (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Present Regionally restricted 7_center In severely affected mutant embryos, expression was restricted to the distal tip and was absent at the embryonic/extraembryonic junction, marked by a prominent constriction.
