Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: Embryo with 7-8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: allantois Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression is at the base of allantois.
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: Embryo with 10-12 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: neural tube Present 1B
TS13: paraxial mesenchyme Present 1B
Specimen 1C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Embryo with 28-30 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression spans about six somite levels (from somites 10-15).
TS15: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression spans about 7-8 somite levels (somites 13-21, with weaker levels of expression at somites 13 and 21).
Specimen 1D: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression is in differentiating neurons, mostly in motor neurons in the ventrolateral region of the neural tube. Expression spans about six somite levels (from somites 10-15).
TS17: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression spans about 7-8 somite levels (somites 13-21, with weaker levels of expression at somites 13 and 21).
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Cross-section through the neural tube of a mouse embryo at the level of the ninth somite. Green - Hoxc8; red - DiI.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in motor neurons in the ventrolateral region of the neural tube. Expression spans about six somite levels (from somites 10-15). Shown is a region that has no expression (level of the 9th somite).
Specimen 2B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Cross-section through the neural tube of a mouse embryo at the level of the 11th somite. Green - Hoxc8; red - DiI.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 2B Expression is in motor neurons in the ventrolateral region of the neural tube. Expression spans about six somite levels (from somites 10-15).
