Fig. 4. Genetically, Mesp2 lies downstream of Dll3 regarding the
rostrocaudal polarity. Expression of the caudal genes Dll1 (A-D),
Uncx4.1 (E-H) and the morphology of the lumbar vertebrae (I-L) are
examined in the Dll3/Mesp2 intercross. Genotypes are indicated on the left.
The Dll3/Mesp2 double-null embryo exhibits phenotypes
indistinguishable from those of the Mesp2-null embryo. Details are stated in
the text. For the rostral genes, see Fig. S1 at
