TS21: nasal septum Weak 1A Weaker expression in primary palate and secondary nasal septum.
TS21: primary palate Weak 1A Weaker expression in primary palate and secondary nasal septum.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: palatal shelf Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression in medial part of palatal shelf. No expression at most posterior part of palatal shelves.v
TS22: primary palate Present 1B
TS22: nasal septum Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression in secondary nasal septum.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: palatal shelf Present Regionally restricted 1D No expression at most posterior part of palatal shelves or at midline.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: palatal shelf mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1E Expression in core of loose mesenchymal cells.
TS21: palatal shelf epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1E No expression in medial edge epithelium.

Specimen 1G: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
