Fig. 1 Proneuromast deposition is not triggered by traversing somite boundaries. (A,B) eya1 in situ hybridization labels deposited proneuromasts. (A) A wt embryo with a typical distribution of proneuromasts. (B) A tri homozygous mutant displays similarly spaced proneuromasts, even though somites are narrower. (C) Quantification of somites between the first two proneuromasts in wt and tri mutants. Mutant primordia cross significantly more somite boundaries between proneuromast depositions in tri mutants. (D) The actual distance between these proneuromasts in wt and tri mutants is not significantly different. Scale bar equals 50 μm. Error bars represent standard deviation from the mean.
