Results
Specimen 1P: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: forelimb bud Weak 1P
TS15: hindlimb ridge Strong 1P Strong expression in the hindlimb primordium.

Specimen 1Q: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud mesenchyme Weak 1Q Authors state that differential expression between Tbx4 and Tbx5 in limb mesenchyme is maintained.
TS17: hindlimb bud mesenchyme Strong 1Q Authors state that differential expression between Tbx4 and Tbx5 in limb mesenchyme is maintained.

Specimen 1R: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb bud mesenchyme Weak 1R Authors state that differential expression between Tbx4 and Tbx5 in limb mesenchyme is maintained.
TS19: hindlimb bud mesenchyme Strong 1R Expression is maintained in the mesenchyme along the entire proximodistal axis.
TS19: future leg mesenchyme Very strong Regionally restricted 1R Locally intense expression in the region where the tibia and fibula are being specified.

Specimen 1S: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1S In the hindlimb, expression is maintained in the mesenchyme along the entire proximodistal axis.

Specimen 1T: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: hindlimb mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1T In the hindlimb, expression is maintained in the mesenchyme along the entire proximodistal axis.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: hindlimb bud mesenchyme Strong 2E Strong mesenchymal expression throughout most of the hindlimb.
TS19: footplate apical ectodermal ridge Absent 2E
TS19: forelimb bud ectoderm Present 2E Expression in the forelimb is predominantly a general epithelial signal, not specifically associated with the AER.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 8.8 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: forelimb bud mesenchyme Absent 3B No expression in the lateral plate mesoderm of the prospective forelimb field.
TS14: mesenchyme derived from lateral plate Absent 3B No expression in the lateral plate mesoderm of the prospective forelimb field.
