Results
Specimen 1K: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - Neurog1 (assay MGI:7790493).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 1K Many positive nuclei expressed Neurog1 (39.9%).

Specimen 1L: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - Neurog2 (assay MGI:7790494).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 1L Many positive nuclei expressed Neurog2 (33.9%).

Specimen 1M: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - Neurog2 (assay MGI:7790494).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 1M Nonoverlapping expression domains with Neurog2. The level of coexpression (19.7%) dropped substantially at E15.5 as compared with E12.5.
TS23: cerebral cortex subventricular zone Present 1M The level of coexpression (34.6%) remained slightly higher.

Specimen 1N: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - Neurog2 (assay MGI:7790494).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 1N Nonoverlapping expression domains with Neurog2. Expressed mostly near the ventricular surface and at the ventricular zone/subventricular zone border.
TS23: cerebral cortex subventricular zone Present 1N The level of coexpression (34.6%) remained slightly higher.

Specimen 1O: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - Neurog2 (assay MGI:7790494).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex subventricular zone Present 1O The level of coexpression (34.6%) remained slightly higher.
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 1O Nonoverlapping expression domains with Neurog2. Expressed mostly near the ventricular surface and at the ventricular zone/subventricular zone border.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Embryos were exposed to BrdU 30 minutes prior to harvesting to label S-phase cells. Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - BrdU.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2E The percentage of positive nuclei also labeled by BrdU was not significantly different from the ratio expected for a random cell-cycle distribution.

Specimen 2F: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Embryos were exposed to BrdU 8 hours prior to harvesting to label early-to-mid G1 cells. Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - BrdU.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2F More positive cells were colabeled with BrdU (61.4%) than expected from a random cell-cycle distribution (46.7%).

Specimen 2G: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Embryos were exposed to BrdU 14 hours prior to harvesting to label late G1 cells. Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - BrdU.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2G A trend toward fewer positive cells labeled with BrdU than would be expected if indiscriminately expressed throughout the cell cycle.

Specimen 2H: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ascl1; red - pHH3.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2H Expressed in some pHH3+ nuclei, consistent with the idea that it was not excluded from G2/M-phase of the cell cycle.
