(B) A model of how overlapping Smad1 and β-catenin binding to DNA cis-regulatory modules might regulate transcription of different classes genes in FG (yellow column on left) versus HG (green column on right) tissue. Example genes for each regulatory category are indicated on the right. Y and Z indicate transcription factors other than Tcf.

	Fig. S1: Transcriptional program of FG and HG progenitors in vivo. (A) Scatter plot of log fold change (log2FC) in expression between HG versus FG samples and endo versus meso samples. HG-enriched transcripts (green), FG-enriched transcripts (orange) meso-enriched transcripts (red) and endo-enriched transcripts (yellow) based on log2 fold change (FC) ≤-1 or ≥1 and false discovery rate (FDR) ≤5%. (B) Xenopus orthologs of genes known to be involved in human and mouse GI development (manually curated list from the literature) are present in our FG-enriched and HGenriched gene lists. The heatmap shows that the Xenopus transcripts have restricted expression in manner predicted from the mouse and human literature, illustrating high conservation across species. (C) GO term enrichment analysis of 172 FG-endo, 294 FG-meso, 518 HG-endo and 202 HG-meso genes from Fig. 1C. (D) BMP and Wnt pathway components that are expressed in any sample (FG-endo, FGmeso, HG-endo or HG-meso) above one transcripts per-million reads (TPM >1; lower than this is considered not expressed). The heatmap shows that BMP pathway genes are expressed in both the FG and HG, whereas Wnt ligands are generally restricted to the HG and Wnt-antagonists enriched in the FG. (E) In situ hybridization of mid-sagittal section stage NF20 (hhex and ventx2.1) or NF35 embryos (nr1h5, nkx2-1, nkx2-5, sox2 and darmin) in DMH1 or Tg(hsp70:dkk1) embryos; anterior left and dorsal up.
	Fig. S2: RNA-seq of DMSO and DMH1 treated embryos identified BMP-regulated genes. (A) Scatter plot showing log2FC in expression between DMSO and DMH1 treated FG (left) and between DMSO and DMH1 treated HG (right) samples. Transcripts are colored based on the normal control expression; HG-enriched in green, FG-enriched in orange, genes expressed similarly in FG and HG (FG=HG) in grey and normally not expressed in control FG or HG in black. (B) Venn diagram illustrates overlap between transcripts up regulated (é) or down regulated (ê) upon DMH1 treatment in FG and HG tissues. FG or HG transcripts repressed upon DMH1 treatment (log2FC ≤-1, FDR ≤5% relative to controls) are considered to be BMP-activated genes (n=697), whereas FG or HG transcripts that are increased upon DMH1 (log2FC ≥1, FDR ≤5%) are classified as BMP-repressed genes (n=1063). Eight transcripts had ambiguous regulation being both activated and repressed by DMH1 in FG or HG tissues, and were excluded from further analysis. Overall we categorized a total of 1760 (697+1063) BMPregulated genes in the FG and HG tissue. (C) GO term analysis of BMP-activated and -repressed genes. (D) Unsupervised clustering of BMP-regulated genes in control (CONT) and DMH1 treated FG and HG samples compared to dorsal explants (DORS), which contain a thin layer of dorsal endoderm (yellow) along with neural and somite tissue. The DMH1-treated FG showed similarities to the dorsal tissue suggesting that BMP induces ventral mesendoderm fate and represses dorsal fate. (E) In situ hybridization of control, DMH1 treated or BMP2 injected embryos, in a cross section confirms that expression of the dorsal mesoderm gene foxc2 is expanded ventrally with DMH1 and restricted dorsally upon BMP injection.

Wnt-activated genes were log2FC ≤-1 upon heatshock or log2FC ≥1 upon BIO treatment FDR ≤5% (n=959). Wnt-repressed genes were log2FC ≥1 upon heat-shock or log2FC ≤-1 upon BIO treatment FDR ≤5% (n=2032). Forty-one transcripts had ambiguous regulation with evidence of being both Wnt-activated and Wnt-repressed, and were excluded from further analysis.
