FIG. 4. Expression of xArx2 during Xenopus development. At blastula stage (a), xArx2 is observed in dorsal blastomeres. Expression later restricts to a pair of distinct stripes in the anterior neural plate, and more diffusely in the apical neural ridge (b arrow, which later refines to a light crescent, arrow in c). Expression is later observed in somites (d,e), and presumptive forebrain (f,g), which consequently refines to dien- cephalon (di) and telencephalon (tel) (g). In cleared embryos, expression is detected in the anterior neural tube (h). Cross sections of Xeno- pus embryos demonstrate expression of xArx2 in the ventral and lateral telencephalon (i), lateral diencephalon (j). In situ hybridization using Arx and Arx2-specific probes show distinct expression patterns (k). Unilaterally injected Arx2 morpholino (arrows) perturbs expression of Arx2 (l).
