Nearly half of all individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) have some type of congenital heart defect (CHD), suggesting that DS sensitizes to CHD but does not cause it. We used a common mouse model of DS, the Ts65Dn mouse, to study the contribution of Tbx5, a known modifier of CHD, to heart defects on a trisomic backgroun. Mice that were heterozygous for a Tbx5 null allele were crossed with Ts65Dn mice. Thoraxes of progeny were fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned for analysis of CHD. Gene expression in embryonic hearts was examined by quantitative PCR and in situ hybridization. A TBX5 DNA binding site was verified by luciferase assays.

The user can examine cell-by-cell as well as tissue-by-tissue expression patterns. Users can retrieve images that meet specific search criteria, then interactively zoom and scroll across the collection. Image set contributions are welcome. The following image collections are currently available for browsing: * High-quality high-resolution images of eight-week-old male mouse sagittal brain slices with reverse-complemented mRNA hybridization probes from the Allen Brain Atlas, courtesy of the Allen Institute for Brain Science * Mouse in situ images from the Jackson Lab Gene Expression Database (GXD) at MGI * Transcription factors in mouse embryos from the Mahoney Center for Neuro-Oncology * Mouse head and brain in situ images from NCBI''''s Gene Expression Nervous System Atlas (GENSAT) database * Xenopus laevis in situ images from the National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB) XDB project
