Results
Specimen 2G: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: 28-30 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail Strong 2G
TS17: future spinal cord Strong Regionally restricted 2G Expression was high in the posterior neuropore region.
TS17: tail paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2G The cranial border of expression was in the paraxial mesoderm condensing to form the last somite.

Specimen 3a: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 3 sections are presented in a caudal to cranial sequence (a-e).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail Strong 3_Wnt5a a

Specimen 3b: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 3 sections are presented in a caudal to cranial sequence (a-e).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: notochord Absent 3_Wnt5a b
TS17: tail Present Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a b All tissues adjacent to the tail bud, except the notochord, show expression signal.
TS17: tail surface ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a b Surface ectoderm expression is confined to the ventral ectodermal ridge.
TS17: future spinal cord Very strong Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a b The open neural plate was very strong dorsolaterally.
TS17: tail mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a b Beneath the neuropore, a high level of expression is observed in ventral and lateral regions; ventral cells located just above the ventral ectodermal ridge show the most intense labeling.

Specimen 3c: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 3 sections are presented in a caudal to cranial sequence (a-e).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Very strong Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a c Signal was very strong dorsolaterally.
TS17: hindgut epithelium Present 3_Wnt5a c Expression was concentrated in the apical part of the cells.

Specimen 3d: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 3 sections are presented in a caudal to cranial sequence (a-e).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a d Neuroepithelial expression was confined to the apical region and was progressively downregulated.
TS17: tail mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a d The signal intensity of the ventral mesenchyme decreased, concomitantly increased dorsolaterally.
TS17: tail surface ectoderm Absent 3_Wnt5a d Expression was undetectable in the ventral ectodermal groove.

Specimen 3e: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 3 sections are presented in a caudal to cranial sequence (a-e).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3_Wnt5a e Neuroepithelial expression was confined to the apical region and was progressively downregulated.
