FoxP in the fan-shape body
on Friday, January 15th, 2021 12:10 | by Andreas Ehweiner
Control of general FoxP expression patter (line 104y)

Expression of 104y (green) and FoxP (red)

There seems to be no colocalisation of 104y and FoxP.

Expression of 121y (green) and FoxP (red)

Overlap of 121y GFP expression with FoxP expression is the fan-shape body.

Problems with line c205, no GFP expression.
