Genome-wide analysis of the sox family in the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum: multiple genes with unique expression patterns

Table 2 Summary of Sycon Sox and SoxL genes expression

Gene	Expression
*SciSoxB*	Oocytes, cleavage stage embryos, macromeres, and cruciform cells
*SciSoxC*	Oocytes, cleavage stage embryos, macromeres
*SciSoxE*	Choanocytes and some mesohyl cells
*SciSoxF1*	Choanocytes and accessory cells, some mesohyl cells
*SciSoxF2*	Large spindle-shaped cells around osculum
*SciSox6*	Choanocytes, pinacocytes, small cells around osculum
*SciSox7*	Ubiquitous during embryogenesis, choanocytes
*SciSoxL1*	Oocytes, cleavage stage embryos, cruciform cells, choanocytes
*SciSoxL2*	Oocytes, cleavage stage embryos, macromeres, choanocytes, small cells around osculum

Dark grey indicates where the expression is detected; light grey indicates embryonic cells where expression is not detected; white represents non-embryonic cells. ac, accessory cells; cc, cruciform cells; ma, macromeres; mes, mesohyl cells; mi, micromeres.
