Results
Specimen 5I,5J: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 3-somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 5I , 5J Authors report Pax2 expression in the caudal portion of the Otx2-positive region (see assay MGI:2148282); overlaps posterior limit of Emx2 expression (see assay MGI:2148290); extends beyond caudal limit of Otx2 expression.

Specimen 5Q,5R: embryonic day 8.0; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 3-somite stage. Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 (F3 gen.) and Otx2 (F5 gen.) heterozygotes were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 5Q , 5R Expression is more diffuse and expanded rostrally.

Specimen 5K,5L,5U: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 4-somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future prosencephalon Present 5K , 5L
TS12: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 5L , 5K Expression extends caudally into preotic sulcus at the most lateral (future dorsal) edge; in medial (future lateral and ventral) region, expression terminates more rostrally; corresponds to future r1 and/or r2.
TS12: pre-otic sulcus Present Regionally restricted 5L , 5K Expression extends caudally into preotic sulcus at the most lateral (future dorsal) edge; in medial (future lateral and ventral) region, expression terminates more rostrally; corresponds to future r1 and/or r2.
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 5U Anterior Pax2-negative domain.

Specimen 5S,5T,5V: embryonic day 8.0; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 4-somite stage. Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 (F3 gen.) and Otx2 (F5 gen.) heterozygotes were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 5S , 5V , 5T Caudal limit of expression in the medial region shifted rostrally; lateral positive and medial negative regions expanded; anterior Pax2-negative domain greatly reduced.
