*Refers to the number of genes analyzed by in situ hybridization using GenePaint [62] on TS22 whole embryo cryo-sections that gave informative staining. S is the specificity of the tag. Specificity is calculated as described in the Materials and methods. GO term enrichments and p-values were calculated using EASE while KEGG pathway enrichments and p-values using Webgestalt as described in the Materials and methods.
