Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: cardiogenic plate Present Expression is present in the cardiogenic mesoderm.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: heart Present Regionally restricted 2E Expression is present in the middle portion of the heart, in what is referred to as the ventricular segment. This region gives rise to the lower part of the atrial chamber that is derived from the atrioventricular canal, as well the ventricular chamber.

Specimen 2G: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: atrioventricular canal Present 2G
TS15: outflow tract Present Regionally restricted 2G Expression is present in the proximal tract.
TS15: primitive ventricle cardiac muscle Present 2G Expression is present in the inner curvature and ventricular myocardium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: atrioventricular canal Present Expression is present in the myocardium.
TS17: endocardial cushion Absent No expression in the antrioventricular cushions.

Specimen 5B/E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: atrioventricular canal Present 5E , 5B Expression is present in the myocardium.
TS19: endocardial cushion Absent 5B , 5E No expression in the antrioventricular cushions.
TS19: ventricle cardiac muscle Present Non-Uniform 5B , 5E Expression is lower in the trabecules than in the compact myocardium.

Specimen 5G: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: outflow tract Absent 5G No expression in the future aorta or pulmonary trunc.
TS19: ventricle cardiac muscle Present Non-Uniform 5G Expression is lower in the trabecules than in the compact myocardium.
