Results
Specimen 1C: embryonic day 13.5-14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: pigmented retinal epithelium Present 1C
TS21: neural retina Absent 1C

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 13.5-14.5; MitfMi/MitfMi (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: pigmented retinal epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1D In the mutant, expression was not found in the dorsal expanded region of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), but was observed in only in regions where the RPE remained a monolayer.
TS21: neural retina Absent 1D
