Spatial gene expression in the Scolex-Neck. a–d Expression in the scolex, neck and immature strobila. f Expression of snail in the genital primordia. g Expression of bZIP137200 in the nascent seminal receptacle. h, i Expression of tgfb-like in immature segments. Arrows in h segmental, dorsoventrally paired foci, and dotted box in i punctate stripe of expression across the segments, both patterns consistent with the positions of segmentally repeated elements of the nervous system [39]. j Expression of zf631300 showing punctate expression in the cortex. Gene models: bZIP137200 (HmN_000137200), six3/6 (HmN_000022100), snail (HmN_000348000), tgfb-like (HmN_000204000), zf631300 (HmN_000631300). Scale bars 200 μm (a–e), 50 μm (f–j)
