Results
Specimen 1D: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 1D , 2A Expression is in a anteroposterior subregion positioned between the 4th and 10th prevertebrae and is weaker over cells of prevertebrae numbering 13-17.
TS20: vertebral pre-cartilage condensation Present 1D , 2A

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 3A , 4A Expression is in the ventral spinal cord with an anterior limit positioned at the level of the forelimb bud corresponding to the level of the 8th-12th somites.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression is as a stripe in the ventral spinal cord with an anterior limit positioned just posterior to the 6th prevertebra. Expression extends to the dorsal region in the most anterior domain of expression and continues as a stripe posteriorly.
TS19: vertebral pre-cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression is in the prevertebrae posterior to the most intense staining in the spinal cord (numbering 14-17).

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 3C , 4E Expression extends to the level of the 5th vertebra in the ventral most spinal cord region, and to the level of the 3rd vertebra in the middle layer of the spinal cord. The most dorsal spinal cord has expression in a very narrow anteroposterior subregion between the 5th and 7th vertebrae. Posteriorly, strongest expression extends to the level of the 10th vertebra.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 19.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 4F , 3D Expression is in the cervical cord region ranging roughly from the levels of the 2nd to the 8th vertebrae.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression is in the ventral spinal cord with an anterior limit positioned at the level of the forelimb bud corresponding to the level of the 8th-12th somites.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 4C The posterior expression boundary overlaps with the mesodermal region of expression in prevertebrae numbered 14-17.
TS19: vertebral pre-cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression is in prevertebrae numbered 14-17.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
