Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: embryo Weak Regionally restricted First detected expression; faint signal at anterior border of embryo

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 8.2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: embryo Present Regionally restricted 3A Restricted to most anterior border of neural plate, represented by the neural ridge; no expression in remainder of embryo.
TS12: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3A Restricted to most anterior border of neural plate, represented by the neural ridge; no expression in remainder of embryo.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: future prosencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3B Expressing region has expanded further; located over anterior neural ridge; now covers part of the area corresonding to the prospective forebrain; also over adjacent region of neural plate.
