Figure Caption

Fig. 2 deltaC^tv2 does not signal effectively during somitogenesis. (A) qPCR showing the relative abundance of deltaC^tv2 in 15 somite embryos of various genetic backgrounds. Levels of deltaC^tv2 increase significantly in morpholino (mo) injected embryos. The amount of deltaC^tv2 mRNA is graphed as a percentage of total deltaC mRNA. (B–C) titin staining marks the somite boundaries of deltaC^+/- embryos. The first disrupted somite border in a morpholino injected embryo is indicated by the arrow in (C). (D) The average number of somites formed in each experimental condition. n = 93, 102, 73, 115 from top to bottom. (E–F) The onset of border defects in deltaD^-/- embryos is shifted anteriorly in morpholino injected embryos. Arrows indicate the first abnormal border. (G) The average number of somites formed in each experimental condition. n = 73, 91, 84, 139, 99 from top to bottom. Two different sets of mutant and sibling embryos were used for the experiments marked in red and yellow. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
