Results
Specimen 1D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 1D Anterior boundary of expression domain at level of posterior part of somite 5, just anterior to the somite 5/6 boundary, which is the position of the first dorsal root ganglion.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 1E Anterior boundary of expression caudal to otic vesicle.

Specimen 1F: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 1F Authors state the that the distance between otic vesicle and the most anterior expressing cells is reduced 1.5-fold between E9.5 and E11.5.

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Hoxb6; orange - Raldh2 (Aldh1a2 assay MGI:5905599).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 2D Anterior boundary of expression in neurectoderm near posterior part of somite 5, just anterior to the somite 5/6 boundary, which is the position of the first dorsal root ganglion.

Specimen 2I: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Hoxb6; orange - Raldh2 (Aldh1a2 assay MGI:5905599).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 2I Rostral boundary of expression located more rostrally than anterior expression limit of Raldh2 (Aldh1a2).
TS17: spinal ganglion Present 2I

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3C Anteiror boundary of expression domain located more rostrally than a day earlier, and more anterior than the cervical Raldh2 (Aldh1a2) domain.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: darker blue - Hoxb6; lighter blue - Raldh2 (Aldh1a2 assay MGI:5905597).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3D Authors report expression boundary is much more rostral compared with earlier stages.
