Results
Specimen 2A left: embryonic day 9.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1tm1M (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2A left Expressed in the surface of the telencephalic vesicles. Only minimal differences in the size of the telencephalic vesicles between the mutant and heterozygote.
TS15: olfactory placode Present 2A left Comparable with the heterozygote.

Specimen 2A right: embryonic day 9.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2A right Expressed in the surface of the telencephalic vesicles.
TS15: olfactory placode Present 2A right

Specimen 2B left/D: embryonic day 10.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1tm1M (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2B left Expressed in the surface of the telencephalic vesicles. The growth of the vesicles in the mutant was retarded relative to the heterozygote.
TS17: neural retinal epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2D , 2B left Expressed in the anterior retinal neuroepithelium, which had a wavy appearance.
TS17: nasal epithelium Present 2B left , 2D Fail to grow normally compared with the heterozygote.
TS17: olfactory placode Present 2B left , 2D Fail to grow normally compared with the heterozygote.

Specimen 2B right/E: embryonic day 10.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1+ (more )

TS17: olfactory placode Present 2E , 2B right

Specimen 2C left: embryonic day 12.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1tm1M (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2C left Expressed in the surface of the telencephalic vesicles. The growth of the vesicles in the mutant was further retarded relative to the heterozygote.

Specimen 2C right: embryonic day 12.5; Foxg1tm1M/Foxg1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
