Assay

Reference:	J:59885 Fougerousse F, et al., Human-mouse differences in the embryonic expression patterns of developmental control genes and disease genes. Hum Mol Genet. 2000 Jan 22;9(2):165-73
Assay type:	RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID:	MGI:6458037
Gene symbol:	Capn3
Gene name:	calpain 3

Probe:	calpain 3-IS2
Probe preparation:	Antisense RNA
Assay notes:	The authors state that similar results were seen with probe calpain 3-IS1 MGI:6456842. The calpain 3-NS probe (MGI:6456840) had similar expression except in the lens were expression was absent.
