Figure 2.
hbbe1.1 and alas2 are expressed in hmgcs1 mutant larvae. Whole mount ISH was performed to detect the expression of hbbe1.1 (n = 41 hmgcs1+/+ [sibling], n = 34 hmgcs1−/− [Vu57]), (A-B) or alas2 (n = 16 hmgcs1+/+ [sibling], n = 15 hmgcs1−/− [Vu57]), (C-D) at 26 hpf. Purple, expression of each gene in the ICM; arrowhead, areas of increased or abnormal expression. Total number of animals was achieved with a minimum of 2 biological replicates. Images were taken with a 10× optical lens at 6.3× objective zoom.
