Results
Specimen 3i: embryonic day 11.5; Hesx1tm1Icar/Hesx1tm1Icar (more )
Note: This is a class II mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3i As in wild-type, expression is present in the medial aspects of the medial ganglionic eminence abutting the floor of the telencephalon.
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3i As in wild-type, expression is present in the zona limitans intrathalamica and in two parallel stripes of expression in the ventral diencephalon converging in the preoptic area.

Specimen 3j: embryonic day 11.5; Hesx1tm1Icar/Hesx1tm1Icar (more )
Note: This is a class I mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forebrain Present 3j Expression is reduced in the mutant due to a foreshortening of the forebrain.
TS19: telencephalon Absent 3j Due to the absence of the telencephalon, there is no expression where the medial ganglionic eminence should be.
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3j Expression is present in the zona limitans intrathalamica.

Specimen 3k: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3k Expression is present in the medial aspects of the medial ganglionic eminence abutting the floor of the telencephalon.
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3k Expression is present in the zona limitans intrathalamica and in two parallel stripes of expression in the ventral diencephalon converging in the preoptic area.
