Results
Specimen 3A/C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: pink - Ascl1; green - Shh (assay MGI:6885880).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: tongue papillary placode Absent 3C , 3A Expression not observed at E13.5.
Specimen 3E/G: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: pink - Ascl1; green - Shh (assay MGI:6885880).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: tongue papillary placode Present Regionally restricted 3G , 3E Expression in a fraction of Shh expressing cells within cell clusters.
Specimen 3I/K: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: pink - Ascl1; green - Shh (assay MGI:6885880).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: soft palate Present Regionally restricted 3I , 3K Expression in taste buds on soft palate.
Specimen 7A/C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: pink - Ascl1; green - Shh (assay MGI:6885880).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: soft palate Absent 7A , 7C Expression not observed at E14.5.

Specimen 7I/K: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: pink - Ascl1; green - Shh (assay MGI:6885880).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: soft palate Present Regionally restricted 7K , 7I Expression in both basal cells and in elongated cells of taste buds.
