Assay
Reference: J:42542 Fiore F, et al., Apparent normal phenotype of Fgf6-/- mice. Int J Dev Biol. 1997 Aug;41(4):639-42
Assay type: In situ reporter (knock in)
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5014813
Gene symbol: Fgf6
Gene name: fibroblast growth factor 6
Reporter: lacZ
Direct Detection
Assay notes: Embryos were fixed in 1% formaldehyde for 20 minutes. Authors state that the expression pattern of heterozygous is identical to the homozygous as shown in this assay.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: myotome Present 2c
TS20: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2c Expression was also detected in the myotomes that expand ventrolaterally at the level of the trunk.
TS20: limb Absent 2c

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5; Fgf6tm1Ffi/Fgf6tm1Ffi (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: limb musculature Present

Specimen 2d: embryonic day 15.5; Fgf6tm1Ffi/Fgf6tm1Ffi (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: skeletal muscle Present 2d There was wide expression in the muscle masses.

Specimen 2e: embryonic day 11.5; Fgf6tm1Ffi/Fgf6tm1Ffi (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: trunk myotome Present Regionally restricted 2e Expression was confined to longitudinally oriented myotomal cells, and was not present in the population of rounded cells.

Specimen 2f: embryonic day 15.5; Fgf6tm1Ffi/Fgf6tm1Ffi (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: skeletal muscle Present Regionally restricted 2f Expression was stronger at the periphery of the muscle masses.
