Assay
Reference: J:89153 Ang SJ, et al., Spatial and temporal expression of Wnt and Dickkopf genes during murine lens development. Gene Expr Patterns. 2004 May;4(3):289-95
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3042032
Gene symbol: Wnt5a
Gene name: wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A
Probe: Wnt5a cDNA6
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Assay notes: The majority of the data are not shown. The lens development data is summarized in Table 1. The authors state that expression for this gene was generally similar at all ages as was described for Wnt7a (as shown in MGI:3041710). Notable differences in expression as stated by the authors are described below.
