TS7: epiblast Present Regionally restricted 7A Expression is in the proximal epiblast at the site of the presumptive primitive streak.
Specimen 7B: embryonic day 5.0 (more )
Note: Prestreak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS7: epiblast Strong Regionally restricted 7B Expression is in the region of the proximal epiblast with strongest expression in the region of the streak.
Specimen 7C: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Early streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
