TS20: vestibulo-cochlear ganglion Present 1A

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: retina Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression is primarily present in the retinal ganglion cell layer.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: skin Present Single cells 1D Expression is present in cells around the shaft of whiskers; they are thought to be Merkel cells.

Specimen 1H: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: tongue epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1H Expression is present in the dorsal eptihelium where taste papilla develop.

Specimen 1I: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: lung Present Non-Uniform 1I Expression is present in clusters of cells believed to be neuroepithelial precursor cells.

Specimen 1K: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: thymus primordium Present 1K

Specimen 2A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: inner ear Present 2A Expression is present in the otic vesicle.
TS20: cranial ganglion Present 2A Expression is present in several ganglia.
TS20: vestibulo-cochlear ganglion Present 2A

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: saccule Present Regionally restricted 2B Expression is present in the saccule, but high levels of expression are not yet visible in the cochlea. Expression is present in positions where the newly developed hair cells are believed to be.
TS22: utricle Present 2B Expression is present in the developing vestibule organs in positions where the newly developed hair cells are believed to be.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cochlea Present 2C
TS24: saccule Present 2C
TS24: utricle Present 2C

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: organ of Corti Strong Regionally restricted 2D Expression can be seen in the hair cells.
TS26: cochlear ganglion Present 2D

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: inner ear vestibular component Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression is present in the entire otic epithelium.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 12.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1tm2Hzo (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: inner ear vestibular component Present Regionally restricted 4B As in wild type, expression is present in the entire otic epithelium.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cochlea epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression is present in the hair cells.
TS26: saccule epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression is present in the hair cells.
TS26: utricle epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression is present in the hair cells.

Specimen 4F: embryonic day 18.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1tm2Hzo (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cochlea Absent 4F Lack of expression is assumed to be due to the loss of hair cells in the mutant.
TS26: saccule Absent 4F Lack of expression is assumed to be due to the loss of hair cells in the mutant.
TS26: utricle Absent 4F Lack of expression is assumed to be due to the loss of hair cells in the mutant.
