Reference: J:97538 Pelka GJ, et al., Distinct expression profiles of Mecp2 transcripts with different lengths of 3'UTR in the brain and visceral organs during mouse development. Genomics. 2005 Apr;85(4):441-52
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3590654
Gene symbol: Mecp2
Gene name: methyl CpG binding protein 2
Probe: pGP1710
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: All time points were assayed using both probes, pGP1710 (MGI:3590558) and pGP14all (MGI:3590555); both probes showed similar results. Only results shown in Figures or included in Table 1 are shown below.
