Results
Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Absent
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: This embryo contains 5-6 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: 1st branchial arch Present 2A
TS12: head somite Absent 2A
Specimen 2B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: This embryo contains 7-8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: 1st branchial arch Present 2B
TS13: 2nd branchial arch Present 2B
TS13: head somite Absent 2B
Specimen 2C: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: This embryo contains 7-8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: 1st branchial arch Strong 2C
TS13: head somite Absent 2C
Specimen 2D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: This embryo contains 26-28 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: myotome Present Regionally restricted 2D Vgl-2 Expression is present in the myotome of differentiated somites. It is absent in the most posterior somites where the myotome has not yet differentiated, as well as in the most differentiated anterior somites (less than somite 7).
TS15: 1st branchial arch ectoderm Present 2D Vgl-2 Expression appears to be limited to the surface epithelium and not to the core of the arches.
TS15: 2nd branchial arch ectoderm Present 2D Vgl-2 Expression appears to be limited to the surface epithelium and not to the core of the arches.
TS15: 3rd branchial arch ectoderm Present 2D Vgl-2 Expression appears to be limited to the surface epithelium and not to the core of the arches.
Specimen 2E: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: This embryo contains 34 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: myotome Present Regionally restricted 2E Vgl-2 Expression is present in the anterior somites but absent from the most recently formed posterior somites.
Specimen 2F: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 2F Vgl-2 Expression is present in the anterior somites but absent from the most recently formed posterior somites.
Specimen 2G: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb bud mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2G Vgl-2 Expression is present in differentiating muscle.
Specimen 2H: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: tail dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 2H Expression is present in the myotome.
TS18: notochord Absent 2H
TS18: tail neural tube Absent 2H
Specimen 2I: embryonic day 16.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: hyoglossus Present 2I
TS24: mandible Present 2I Expression is present in the branchial-arch derived cartilages.
TS24: maxilla Present 2I Expression is present in the branchial-arch derived cartilages.
