A gene expression atlas of early craniofacial development
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We present a gene expression atlas of early mouse craniofacial development. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate cells from the principal critical micro-regions, whose development, differentiation and signaling interactions are responsible for the construction of the mammalian face We examined the facial mesenchyme and adjacent neuroepithelium at E8.5, at E9.5 we obtain cells from the facial mesenchyme, olfactory placode/epidermal ectoderm, underlying neuroepithileium, and emerging mandibular and maxillary arches. AT E10.5 we sampled the medial and lateral prominences, olfactory pit, multiple regions of the underlying neuroepithelium the mandibular and maxillary arches, and Rathke's pouch. Mouse emrbyos were harvested at developmental stage E8.5 , E9.5, and E10.5 and cells were captured from microregions responsible for the construction of the mammalian face. RNA was extracted, labelled, and quantified using the Mouse ST-l microarray.
