Results
Specimen pre-streak stage not shown: embryonic day 6.25 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS8: embryo Absent No expression before onset of gastrulation.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 6.5-6.75 (more )
Note: early-mid-streak stage
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: primitive streak Strong 1B At onset of gastrulation, strong expression in region of the developing primitive streak.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 6.75-7.0 (more )
Note: mid-late streak stage
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: primitive streak Present Regionally restricted 1E Expression follows the spatial progreassion of the streak and becomes more localized in intermediate and rostral part of the streak.
TS10: node Present 1E Starting at the late primitive streak, with the first appearance of the node, expression in region corresponding to the node.

Specimen mid-late streak stage not shown: embryonic day 6.75-7.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted Expression in the area of heart mesoderm from which the primordium of the heart will differentiate.
TS10: definitive endoderm Present Regionally restricted Expression in foregut endoderm.

Specimen neural plate / headfold stage not shown: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
