Results
Specimen 9L: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: cranial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 9L At E10.5 expression was detected in the mesenchyme surrounding the brain, but it was already excluded from the mesenchyme above the eye.

Specimen 9M: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: cranial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 9O , 9M , 9N At E11.5 expression was detected in the mesenchyme surrounding the brain, but it was already excluded from the mesenchyme above the eye.

Specimen 9P: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cranial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 9P , 9S , 9Q , 9R Expression was significantly down-regulated in the cranial mesenchyme except in the meningeal layer. Expression gradually faded on the lateral side of the head concomitant with the expansion of the calvarial bone into this region, while strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS22: frontal bone primordium Ambiguous Regionally restricted 9P , 9S , 9R Most of the developing frontal bone was devoid of staining.

Specimen 9T: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cranial suture mesenchyme Strong 9T , 9U Strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS24: head mesenchyme Present 9T , 9V , 9U , 9W Expression gradually faded on the lateral side of the head concomitant with the expansion of the calvarial bone into this region. Expression was significantly down-regulated in the cranial mesenchyme except in the meningeal layer.
TS24: frontal bone Ambiguous 9W , 9V , 9T Most of the frontal bone was devoid of expression.

Specimen 9X: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cranial suture mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 9Y , 9X , 9Z , 9a Strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS26: frontal bone Present Regionally restricted 9X , 9a , 9Z , 9Y Most of the developing frontal bone was devoid of Zic1 mRNA, but some expression was detected at the apical end as the osteogenic front approached the interfrontal suture.

Specimen S13I: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cranial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted S13J , S13L , S13I , S13K Expression was significantly down-regulated in the cranial mesenchyme except in the meningeal layer. Expression gradually faded on the lateral side of the head concomitant with the expansion of the calvarial bone into this region, while strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS22: parietal bone primordium Present Regionally restricted S13L , S13I , S13K The parietal bone showed negligible expression of Zic1 on the basal end, but had some expression on the lateral and apical parts.

Specimen S13O: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cranial suture mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted S13P , S13O Strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS24: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted S13Q , S13R , S13O Expression gradually faded on the lateral side of the head concomitant with the expansion of the calvarial bone into this region. Expression was significantly down-regulated in the cranial mesenchyme except in the meningeal layer.
TS24: parietal bone Present Regionally restricted S13R , S13Q , S13O The parietal bone showed negligible expression of Zic1 on the basal end, but had some expression on the lateral and apical parts.

Specimen S13S: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cranial suture mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted S13S , S13T Strong expression was maintained in the mesenchyme of the cranial sutures at the dorsal midline.
TS26: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted S13S , S13U , S13V Expression gradually faded on the lateral side of the head concomitant with the expansion of the calvarial bone into this region. Expression was significantly down-regulated in the cranial mesenchyme except in the meningeal layer.
TS26: parietal bone Present Regionally restricted S13U , S13S , S13V The parietal bone showed negligible expression of Zic1 on the basal end, but had some expression on the lateral and apical parts.
