Specimen 4b: embryonic day 14.0; EdaTa/? (more )
Note: the mutation is X-linked; the embryo could have been homozygous or hemizygous
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lower jaw molar Weak Regionally restricted 4b Weaker expression than in wild type, with smaller expression domain, extending only 100 micrometers.

Specimen 4c: embryonic day 16.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: lower jaw molar Present Regionally restricted 4c Secondary enamel knots corresponding to future cusp tips are present as small areas of expression.
