Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Note: 19 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: myotome Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression is in the central region of the myotome of rostral somites. The 10-12 most caudal somites are negative.

Specimen 1B,C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: 23 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: somite Present Regionally restricted 1B , 1C Expression is in the dorsal half of the 14-15 rostral-most somites with only 6-8 negative somites.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: 24 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: somite Present Regionally restricted 1D Epaxial expression and a separate ventral expression domain appears in the hypaxial region of rostral thoracic somites.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: 25 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: somite Present Regionally restricted 1E Expression in the ventral expression domain encroaches on the more recently born somites and is already on in the second recently formed somite.
TS15: dermomyotome Present 1E

Specimen 1F: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: 28 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: myotome Present Regionally restricted 1F Absent in lumbo-sacral somites, expression in the older thoracic somites across the full dorso-ventral extent of the myotome and cells in the hypaxial domain are becoming spindle shaped.
