Fig. 2. Comparison of EFTF expression patterns by double whole-mount in situ hybridisation. Otx2 expression at stage 12 (A) and 13 (B). In C-I and K-T, the dark blue stain is the expression pattern of the gene named on the left, while the magenta stain is the expression pattern of the gene named on the right, at the stages shown. For example, in C, Otx2 is dark blue and Rx1 is magenta. (J) Both Emx1 and Rx1 stain dark blue. (J-L) The Rx1 (J), Pax6 (K) and Six3 (L) expression borders are indicated by a broken line. A schematic summary of the overlapping expression patterns of the eye field transcription factors at stage 12.5/13 (U) and 15 (V) is shown. Scale bars: in A, 300 μm for A-L; in M, 300 μm for M-T.
