In situ 
Ubiquitous, high expression in cranial neural folds, subregions of pharyngeal arches 1and 2, circumpharyngeal neural crest and limb buds 
In situ 
Chicken HIRA, expressed in the developing neural plate, the neural tube, neural crest and the mesenchyme of the head and branchial arch structures 
Northern 
Two alternative spliced forms, long form is predominate with short form more abundant in the heart. Most abundant expression in heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas and kidney 
 
accumulate in nuclei of PGCs during reprogramming
