• Allelic Composition: Myf5^tm1Jae/Myf5^tm1Jae
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S4/SvJae

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

skeleton

abnormal sternocostal joint morphology ( J:24360 )

• no contacts with the sternum are made because the ribs are short

rib bifurcation ( J:42453 )

short ribs ( J:42453 , J:24360 , J:31636 )

• mutants lack the distal parts of the ribs; ribs are shorter than in Myf6 homozygotes (J:31636)

abnormal sternum ossification ( J:24360 )

• sternum is completely ossified

muscle

absent myotome ( J:42453 )

• no myotomes are detected at E10.5
