Assessment of heart shape based on qualitative analysis of gross morphological features.

Qualitative assessment of atrial septa and degree of trabeculation obtained from serial histological sections.

TNNT2 denotes embryos treated with the TNNT2 ATG start site morpholinos.

a

Control embryos include standard and untreated controls.

b

Both embryos with diverticula had reduced atrial septal size.
