Results
Specimen 4C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb digit mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression is in the digital ray in a domain of approximately 30-35 cell diameters distal to the developing metatarsal.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: hindlimb digit mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4G Expression is in a domain of approximately 15-20 cell diameters in the region of the presumptive metatarsophalangeal joint.

Specimen 4K: embryonic day 13.5; Gdf5bp-3J/Gdf5bp-3J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: hindlimb digit mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4K Expression is in a broad region distal to the metatarsal. This pattern is similar to that seen in 12.5dpc wild-type limbs.

Specimen 4N: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4N Expression is in the metatarsophalangeal joint and in the 1st and 2nd interphalangeal joints.

Specimen 4R: embryonic day 14.5; Gdf5bp-3J/Gdf5bp-3J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4R Expression is expanded to a region that encompases the region of the proximal and medial phalanges in a pattern that is complememtary to Col2a1.
