Results
Specimen 4i: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future forebrain Present 4i The caudal limit of expression was at the mid-hindbrain junction.
TS15: future midbrain Present 4i The caudal limit of expression was at the mid-hindbrain junction.

Specimen 4j: embryonic day 9.5; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future forebrain Present 4j Expression caudal to the sulcus telodiencephalicus was greatly narrowed. The caudal limit was shifted anteriorly in the double mutant.
TS15: future midbrain Present 4j Expression caudal to the sulcus telodiencephalicus was greatly narrowed. The caudal limit was shifted anteriorly in the double mutant.

Specimen 6e: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 3 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural ectoderm Present 6e

Specimen 6f: embryonic day 8.0; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 3 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural ectoderm Present 6f Expression was unchanged in the double mutant at the 3-somite stage.

Specimen 6g: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 6 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural ectoderm Present 6g

Specimen 6h: embryonic day 8.0; Otx1tm1Sia/Otx1+, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 6 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 6h Expression was greatly limited at the 6-somite stage in the double mutant. The caudal limit of expression was less distinct.
