Reference: J:1778 Dolle P, et al., The Hox-4.8 gene is localized at the 5' extremity of the Hox-4 complex and is expressed in the most posterior parts of the body during development. Mech Dev. 1991 Dec;36(1-2):3-13
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3767659
Gene symbol: Hoxd13
Gene name: homeobox D13
Probe: probe A
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Assay notes: Authors state that probe A (MGI:12544) was used in most experiments, but that probe B (MGI:12543) may also have been used. Both displayed the same expression patterns.
