Fig. 4. Spatial expression pattern of zswim5. Zswim5 was first detected at the dorsal blastopore lip in early gastrula (A,B), and then was preferentially expressed in the future neural plate at later gastrula stages (C). At early neurula stages, zswim5 signals were restricted at the anterior neural plate, partially covering the NC region (D-F). (G,H) Transverse section (G) and sagittal section (H) of stage15 embryos. Red arrows point to stained regions. At mid neurula stages, zswim5 signals were restricted in NC and anterior border of the neural plate (I,J). (K-R) Zswim5 expression at tail bud and tadpole stages. Zswim5 was mainly expressed in the anterior neural tube including forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, and anterior portion of the spinal cord. In addition, signals were also detected in the retina of the developing eye and the forming cranial nerves (pointed by red arrows). N’ and P’ indicate the planes of the sections shown in N and P, respectively. Ac, archenteron; bt, blastocoel; ev, eye vesicle; eym, endodermal yolk mass; fg, foregut; hb, hindbrain; mb, midbrain; nt, notochord; rt, retina; and sc, spinal cord.
