Dlx3b/4b controls the expression of genes mimicking the expression pattern of atoh1b. Similar to atoh1b, foxj1b (A), mns1 (B), ulk1a (C), cdr2l (D), has3 (E), si:dkey-222f2.1 (F), zgc:158291 (G), cxcl14 (H) and gfi1ab (I) show a restricted expression in the OEPD. In comparison to wild-type siblings, RNAseq and in situ hybridization at the six-somite stage (12 hpf) show downregulation of all aforementioned genes in the OEPD of dlx3b/4b mutants. Dorsal views, anterior to the top. Scale bar: 100 µm. Plots show the read counts of the individual genes including standard deviation. Significance was based on the padj values which were calculated to control the false discovery rate with the following ranges: ***: 0-0.001; **: 0.001-0.01; *: 0.01-0.01; not significant: 0.1-1.0.
