Reference: J:45683 Bosse A, et al., Identification of the vertebrate Iroquois homeobox gene family with overlapping expression during early development of the nervous system. Mech Dev. 1997 Dec;69(1-2):169-81
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5468938
Gene symbol: Irx2
Gene name: Iroquois homeobox 2
Probe: Irx2 cDNA4
Probe preparation: Antisense RNA
Assay notes: At least two different probes between 0.5-1.0kb were used for analysis. The authors did not provide the details of which probe(s) were used to obtain these data but did report that the detected patterns were identical.
