ND is not done.
All sets of injection experiments were done at least three times.
RB = Rohon–Beard sensory neuron, TG = Trigeminal ganglia placode.
Checked at the 3-somite stage.
We have defined reduced to have 12 or less RB neurons/per embryo. This is the average number of total RB neurons in the MO-injected embryos (see Table 3).
