Transcriptome of r1-r2 and r4-derived NCCs. a Venn diagram illustrating the number of genes co-expressed in r1-r2 and r4-derived mouse NCCs compared to chick cranial NCCs. b Transcriptome analysis identified 34 genes enriched in r1-r2-derived NCCs (i.e. Hoxa2, Hoxb1 and Meox1) and 87 genes enriched in r4-derived NCCs (i.e. Alx1, Alx3 and Alx4). Several bona fide NCC genes are expressed abundantly in both populations of cells (blue dots represent Crabp1, Snai1, Sox10, Foxd3, Sox9, Id1-3, Tfap2a, Ets1, Ngfr and Lin28)
