Results
Specimen 5B wild type embryo: embryonic day 7.5; Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho/0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: trophoblast giant cell Very strong Regionally restricted 5E , 5B left Very high levels of expression in trophoblast giant cells surrounding the Reichert's membrane.
TS11: embryo Strong 5C left , 5B left Highest expression.
TS11: neural ectoderm Strong 5C left , 5B left Highest expression.
TS11: chorion Strong 5D left , 5B left Highest expression.
TS11: ectoplacental cone Present 5D left , 5B left Detectable but lower levels of expression.

Specimen 5B wild type maternal: postnatal adult; Atrxtm1Rjg/Atrx+ (more )
Note: Conditional mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: decidua Present 5B left

Specimen 5B null embryo: embryonic day 7.5; Atrxtm1Rjg/Y, Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Absent 5C right , 5B right Only background staining was seen.
TS11: neural ectoderm Absent 5C right , 5B right Only background staining was seen.
TS11: chorion Absent 5D right , 5B right Only background staining was seen.
TS11: ectoplacental cone Absent 5D right , 5B right Only background staining was seen.
TS11: trophoblast giant cell Absent 5B right Only background staining was seen.

Specimen 5B null maternal: postnatal adult; Atrxtm1Rjg/Atrx+ (more )
Note: Conditional mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: decidua Present 5B right Similar as in the wild-type.

Specimen 8A wild type: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Present 8A left , 8B left Expression was detected in every cell.
TS11: chorion ectoderm Present 8A left , 8C left
TS11: chorion mesoderm Present 8A left , 8C left

Specimen 8A carrier female: embryonic day 7.5; Atrxtm1Rjg/Atrx+, Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Wild-type allele was paternally inherited.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Present Clusters 8A right , 8B right Expressed as a mosaic of small clusters of positive cells (in which the Atrxnull allele on Xm had been inactivated) and negative cells (in which the wild-type allele on Xp had been inactivated), indicating normal random X-inactivation within the epiblast.
TS11: chorion ectoderm Present 8A right , 8C right Expression could be detected in almost all cells, indicating the wild-type allele (inherited on the Xp chromosome) escaped the normal imprinted X-inactivation in the extraembryonic compartment.
TS11: chorion mesoderm Present 8A right , 8C right Expression could be detected in almost all cells, indicating the wild-type allele (inherited on the Xp chromosome) escaped the normal imprinted X-inactivation in the extraembryonic compartment.

Specimen S4A: embryonic day 8.5; Atrxtm1Rjg/Atrx+, Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural fold Present Non-Uniform S4A Clearly comprised of a mosaic of positive and negative cells due to random X-inactivation.

Specimen S4B: embryonic day 8.5; Atrxtm1Rjg/Atrx+, Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: primitive endoderm Trace S4B Poorly expressed in the visceral endoderm.
TS12: chorion ectoderm Strong S4B Strong expression in the chorionic ectoderm, indicating that the paternally-derived allele had escaped inactivation in this tissue.
