From: Novel gene expression patterns along the proximo-distal axis of the mouse embryo before gastrulation
Longitudinal sections of embryos after whole-mount in situ hybridisation, showing expression of: Cubilin at E6.5 (a) and E7.5 (b); Sfmbt2 at E6.5 (c) and E7.5 (d) (note that due to the distorted shape of the specimen this section does not fully pass through the lumen of the proamniotic cavity and the distal-most group of Sfmbt2-expressing cells in fact forms part of the extraembryonic ectoderm near the anterior amniotic fold); Ndrg1 at E6.5 (e) and E7.5 (f); Plet1 at E6.5 (g), E7.5 (h) (note also that the distal-most extraembryonic expression represents extraembryonic ectoderm near the anterior amniotic fold) and in the node at E8.0 (i); and Talia at E7.5 (j).
