Results
Specimen 3E: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: 24-26 somite stage embryo.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: somite 10 Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression is mostly ventral.
TS15: somite 11 Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression is mostly ventral.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: somite 11 dermomyotome Strong Regionally restricted 6C Expression is strong in the dorsal part, weak in the ventral part.
TS17: somite 12 dermomyotome Strong Regionally restricted 6C Expression is strong in the dorsal part, weak in the ventral part.
TS17: trunk myotome Strong Regionally restricted 6C Expression is strong in the dorsal part, weak in the ventral part. Expression is in all but the most caudal 4-5 somites.

Specimen 7: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: dermatome Present Regionally restricted 7_MRF4 Expression is in the myotome.

Specimen 8A: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled with MHC (fluorescence).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: myotome Present Regionally restricted 8A Expression is in myoblasts in the dorsal region of the myotome.
TS15: somite 13 dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 8A Expression is in myoblasts in the dorsal region of the myotome.
TS15: somite 14 dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 8A Expression is in myoblasts in the dorsal region of the myotome.

Specimen not shown E8.5: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: somite Absent

Specimen not shown E9: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Note: 13-19 somite stage embryo.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: somite Present Regionally restricted Expression is in the most rostral somites. The caudal limit in a 16 somite embryo is in the 3-4 most rostral somites.

Specimen not shown E10.5: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted Expression is in the dorsal myotome.
