Results
Specimen 3e: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present 3e
TS15: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3e Expression was detected in the dorsal diencephalon and commissural plate.

Specimen 3f: embryonic day 9.5; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present Regionally restricted 3f Expression was slightly enlarged and anteriorly shifted. The dorsal expression was enlarged rostrally from the stripe.
TS15: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3f Expression was detected in the dorsal diencephalon and commissural plate as in wild type.

Specimen 8a: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 3 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: midbrain-hindbrain junction Weak 8a Expression was faint and broad at the 3 somite stage.

Specimen 8b: embryonic day 8.0; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 3 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: midbrain-hindbrain junction Weak 8b Normal faint, broad expression was detected at the 3-somite stage in the double heterozygote.

Specimen 8c: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 6 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present 8c Expression was concentrated with increased intensity at the 6 somite stage.

Specimen 8d: embryonic day 8.0; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 6 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present 8d Expression intensity was increased at 6 somite stage, but not concentrated in the double heterozygotes.
