Modular mantle spatial expression patterns of Laternula elliptica putative biomineralisation genes.
(A) An overview of TyrA. (B) An overview of Chitin-binding domain. (C) An overview of Zn metalloendopeptidase. (D) An overview of Pif. (E) An overview of Contig 01043 with unknown annotation. Boxes and roman numerals (i, ii, iii) indicate zoomed-in regions, arrows ↓ indicate expression boundaries and asterisk symbols * denote extracellular organic material which is not expression signal. The following corresponding numbers match to the original overview: 1 = fused inner mantle fold and periostracal grooves, x10 objective. 2 = a region of the right outer mantle fold of the mantle edge, x10 objective. 3 = a region of mantle edge outer mantle fold epithelia, x100 objective and 4 = a region of the pallial mantle epithelia, x100 objective. For scale refer to Fig. 1, for schematic representation of the tissue refer to Fig. 2.
