Assay
Reference: J:43296 Jiralerspong S, et al., Frataxin shows developmentally regulated tissue-specific expression in the mouse embryo. Neurobiol Dis. 1997;4(2):103-13
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3809640
Gene symbol: Fxn
Gene name: frataxin
Probe: frataxin probe 1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: Two additional probes resulted in weaker signals but generated essentially identical patterns of hybridization; see MGI:1099211 and MGI:1099209 for probe information.
