Fig. S14 Markers of neural crest are still expressed in pax3b morphants. In situ mRNA hybridisation of dct (A-H) and immunodetection of DP312 (I-O). Lateral view wholemounts are oriented anterior towards the left and dorsal towards the top (A-P); insets in A,C,E,G are wholemount dorsal views with anterior towards the left. Insets in B,D,F,H are dorsal views with anterior towards the left. (A-H) dct expression in melanoblasts is reduced in pax3a single and pax3a+pax3b double morphants (Minchin and Hughes, 2008), but pax3b morphants are similar to controls. (I-P) Intensely labelled DP312+ cells corresponding to xanthophores are still present in pax3b morphants (L). (Q-T) At 5 dpf, pigmentation is grossly normal in pax3b morphants.
