Abstract

ISH to transverse sections through the level of the forelimbs at the stage indicated at the top and with the probe indicated on the left. Genotypes are also marked at the top. Note that, contrary to controls (A, E),  Wnt7a  is not restricted to the dorsal ectoderm in double mutant embryos (B, F). Accordingly,  En1  expression is undetectable in the ventral limb ectoderm of mutant embryos (D, H) compared to controls (C, G). The arrowheads and arrows mark the distal limit of  Wnt7a  and  En1  expression, respectively.
