Fig. 6. Distribution of gene expression for candidate dorsalizing factors in the 8-cell embryo. A. Expression of maternal Wnt11b shows substantial animal–vegetal asymmetry, without any consistent dorsal–ventral segregation, and, specifically, little difference between dorsal and ventral blastomeres, in either the PolyA+ or total mRNA prepared libraries. B. Expression of maternal Disheveled is relatively uniform throughout the early cleavage stage embryo, suggesting that these mRNAs were not concentrated at the vegetal pole of the oocyte or the fertilized egg.
