Results
Specimen 3a: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: chorion Strong 3a Abundant expresion in chorion and ectoplacental cone.
TS11: ectoplacental cone Strong 3a Abundant expresion in chorion and ectoplacental cone.

Specimen 3b: embryonic day 7.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophectoderm Present 3b Authors state transcripts from maternal allele have the same distribution of expression as in +/+ trophoblasts.

Specimen 3c: embryonic day 7.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2tm1Alj (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophectoderm Absent 3c

Specimen 3d: embryonic day 7.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3d Authors report expression of paternal allele in groups of cells in the chorion and/or ectoplacental cone of different sizes and locations in different conceptuses. No expression in rest of trophoblast tissue.

Specimen 3e: embryonic day 7.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3e Authors report expression of paternal allele in groups of cells in the chorion and/or ectoplacental cone of different sizes and locations in different conceptuses. No expression in rest of trophoblast tissue.

Specimen 3f: embryonic day 7.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3f Authors report expression of paternal allele in groups of cells in the chorion and/or ectoplacental cone of different sizes and locations in different conceptuses. No expression in rest of trophoblast tissue.

Specimen 4a: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: trophectoderm Strong Regionally restricted 4a

Specimen 4b/c: embryonic day 6.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: ectoplacental cone Strong Regionally restricted 4b/c Authors state that most sections did not show expression of paternal allele. However, a few sections show high level of expression in groups of ectoplacental cone cells.

Specimen 4d/e: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: trophectoderm Strong 4d/e

Specimen 4f: embryonic day 8.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: trophectoderm Present Regionally restricted 4f Authors state that most sections did not show expression of paternal allele. However, a few sections show expression in scattered cells between chorion and giant cell layers.

Specimen E9.5 M-/P+ not shown: embryonic day 9.5; Ascl2tm1Alj/Ascl2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: trophectoderm Absent
