Assay
Reference: J:109156 Liu H, et al., Identification and developmental expression analysis of a novel homeobox gene closely linked to the mouse Twirler mutation. Gene Expr Patterns. 2006 Aug;6(6):632-6
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3639504
Gene symbol: Mkx
Gene name: mohawk homeobox
Probe: Irxl1 cDNA1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with P33 RNA
Assay notes: The authors did not specify which probe was used, they could have used Irxl1 cDNA2 (MGI:3639501). They state that both probes detected identical expression patterns during mouse embryogenesis in both whole mount and section in situ hybridization assays.
