Results
Specimen 2I: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2I Expression is present in ~85% of the cells, but only 10% of the cells show nuclear localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.
TS20: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2I Expression is present in ~85% of the cells, but only 10% of the cells show nuclear localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.

Specimen 2J: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2J Expression is present in ~85% of the cells, but only 10% of the cells show nuclear localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.
TS20: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2J , 2K Expression is present in ~85% of the cells, but only 10% of the cells show nuclear localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.

Specimen 2M: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2M Expression is widespread; most of it is activated (nuclear). The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits are lower in males than females.
TS22: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2M Expression is widespread; most of it is activated (nuclear). The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits are lower in males than females.

Specimen 2N: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2N Expression is widespread; most of it is activated (nuclear). The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits are higher in females than males.
TS22: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2O , 2N Expression is widespread; most of it is activated (nuclear). The 4th digit has higher levels of expression than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits are higher in females than males.

Specimen S1D left: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: longitudinal section; proximal phalange
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: hindlimb digit 2 Present Regionally restricted S1D left Expression is seen in the proximal phalange, especially in the hypertrophic zone; most is nuclear. There is no longer a significant difference in expression levels between the 2nd and 4th digit.

Specimen S1D right: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: longitudinal section; proximal phalange
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: hindlimb digit 4 Present Regionally restricted S1D right Expression is seen in the proximal phalange, especially in the hypertrophic zone; most is nuclear. There is no longer a significant difference in expression levels between the 2nd and 4th digit.

Specimen S1E left: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: longitudinal section; proximal phalange
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: hindlimb digit 2 Present Regionally restricted S1E left Expression is seen in the proximal phalange, especially in the hypertrophic zone; most is nuclear. There is no longer a significant difference in expression levels between the 2nd and 4th digit.

Specimen S1E right: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: longitudinal section; proximal phalange
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: hindlimb digit 4 Present Regionally restricted S1E right , S1F Expression is seen in the proximal phalange, especially in the hypertrophic zone; most is nuclear. There is no longer a significant difference in expression levels between the 2nd and 4th digit.
