Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2A Expression is present in ~90% of the cells, with most of the cells showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.
TS20: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2A , 2C Expression is present in ~90% of the cells, with most of the cells showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2B Expression is present in ~90% of the cells, with most of the cells showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels and type of expression are comparable between males and females.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2E Expression is present in most of the cells, with most showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits in males are higher than those seen in females.
TS22: hindlimb digit 4 Present Widespread 2G , 2E Expression is present in most of the cells, with most showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits in males are higher than those seen in females.

Specimen 2F: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb digit 2 Present Widespread 2F Expression is present in many of the cells, with most showing activated (nuclear) localization. The 4th digit has higher levels of activation than the second digit. Expression levels in both digits in females are lower than those seen in males.
