Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:1344201
Gene symbol: Hoxa6
Gene name: homeobox A6
Probe: Hoxa6 probe2
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Results
Specimen 3D: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: vertebral cartilage condensation Present Graded 3D Anterior parts of thoracic vertebrae were found to be labelled more intensely than corresponding posterior parts. Posterior to pv16 labelling intensity gradually declined.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: thyroid gland Absent 4C
TS20: trachea Absent 4C
TS20: lung Present Regionally restricted 4C Labelling was restricted to mesodermal components and did not include the endodermally derived lung epithelium.

Specimen Table 1: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: heart Absent
TS20: pharynx Absent Expression was not detected in ventral pharynx.
TS20: thyroid gland Absent
TS20: trachea Absent
TS20: lung Present
TS20: mesonephros Present
TS20: metanephros Present
TS20: stomach Present Regionally restricted Transcripts were restricted to the mesodermal components.
TS20: stomach epithelium Absent

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: outflow tract aortic component Weak Regionally restricted Transcripts were detected within the walls of the aortic trunk.
TS20: spinal cord Present Graded A progressive anterior-to-posterior fall in abundance of transcripts was observed.

Specimen 6E: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: central nervous system Present Regionally restricted 6E The anterior boundary lay in the posterior floor of the myelencephalon. The bounday is irregular in shape along the dorsoventral axis of the nervous tissue. These irregularities have been found to be consistent among different embryos.
TS20: medulla oblongata floor plate Present Regionally restricted 6E The anterior boundary lay in the posterior floor of the myelencephalon. The bounday is irregular in shape along the dorsoventral axis of the nervous tissue. These irregularities have been found to be consistent among different embryos.
