Results
Specimen 3. K.: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3K Expression is detected in the anterior ectoderm and the visceral endoderm.
TS10: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3K Expression is detected in the anterior ectoderm and the visceral endoderm.

Specimen 3. L.: embryonic day 7.0; Nodaltm1Mku/Nodaltm1.1Mku (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3L Expression is detected in the anterior ectoderm and the visceral endoderm but is more distal than in wild-type.
TS10: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3L Expression is detected in the anterior ectoderm and the visceral endoderm but is more distal than in wild-type.

Specimen 3. M.: embryonic day 7.5 (more )

Specimen 4. H.: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: future midbrain Present 4H
TS13: future prosencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4H Expression is restricted to the anterior neurectoderm.

Specimen 4. I.: embryonic day 8.5; Nodaltm1Mku/Nodaltm1.1Mku (more )
Note: This is a type I mutant.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
