Fig. 1. Expression of Msx1 and Msx2 in Xenopus embryos. (A) Glyoxal RNA gel blots of 0.75 μg per lane of total RNA isolated from different embryonic stages probed with Msx1 and Msx2. Nieuwkoop-Faber stages are as indicated. Both transcripts appear first at early gastrula, level off at early neurula and are maintained at roughly constant amounts through mid tailbud stages. Ethidium bromide staining of the 18S ribosomal band is shown to control for equal RNA loading. (B) Whole mount in situ hybridization to late gastrula (St. 12.5) and early (St. 14) and mid-neurula (St. 16) embryos. The expression patterns of Msx1 and Msx2 are very similar. Expression of Slug is shown for comparison. Dorsal views, with anterior towards the top of the figure. Image published in: Khadka D et al. (2006) Copyright © 2006.
