Results
Specimen 2H: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: 28-30 somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail Very strong 2H Very strong expression was detected in the tail bud and epiblast.
TS17: tail mesenchyme Very strong Regionally restricted 2H Very strong expression was detected in the gastrulating mesoderm.
TS17: hindgut Very strong Regionally restricted 2H Very strong expression was detected in the most caudal hindgut.
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
