Results
Specimen 5A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Weak Uniform 5A

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 10.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Strong Regionally restricted 5B Expression was strong in the dorsal half of the neural tube. The abnormal dorsal expression was throughout the length of the neural tube except in the anterior trunk regions, where the roof plate was devoid of expression.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 10.5; Ph/Ph (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 5C The expression pattern in the homozygous mutant was similar to the heterozygous embryo.

Specimen 5D: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: dermatome Trace 5D

Specimen 5E: embryonic day 10.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: dermatome Present 5E Expression was abnormally high in the heterozygous embryo compared to wild type.

Specimen not shown wild type: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: hindgut mesentery Strong
TS17: primordial germ cell Strong
TS17: cardiovascular system mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted Strong expression was detected in the mesenchyme around the dorsal aorta.
TS17: foregut mesentery Ambiguous

Specimen not shown Ph/+: embryonic day 10.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: foregut mesentery Present Expression was abnormally high in the foregut mesentery in the heterozygous embryo.
TS17: hindgut mesentery Strong Strong expression was noted as in wild type.
TS17: primordial germ cell Strong Strong expression was noted as in wild type.
TS17: cardiovascular system mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted Strong expression was detected in the mesenchyme around the dorsal aorta as in wild type.

TS19: hindlimb bud mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 6A Expression was detected in the developing dermis of the hindlimb.

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 11.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present 6B Enhanced expression in the neural tube of the E11.5 heterozygous embryo was similar to that at E10.5.
TS19: hindlimb bud mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 6B There was enhanced expression in the developing dermis of the hindlimb.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: stomach mesenchyme Present 6C

Specimen 6D: embryonic day 11.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: stomach mesenchyme Present 6D Enhanced expression was noted in the stomach mesenchyme of the heterozygous embryo.

Specimen 6E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: dermatome Present 6E

Specimen 6F: embryonic day 11.5; Ph/Ph+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: dermatome Present 6F Enhanced expression in the dermatomes of the E11.5 heterozygous embryo was similar to that at E10.5.
TS19: tail dermatome Absent 6F There was no ectopic expression in tail dermatomes.
