Abstract excerpt
Elaborate metamerism in vertebrate somitogenesis is based on segmental gene expression in the anterior presomitic mesoderm (PSM). Notch signal pathways with Notch ligands Dll1 and Dll3, and the transcription factor Mesp2 are implicated in the rostrocaudal patterning of the somite. We have previously shown that changes in the Mesp2 expression domain from a presumptive one somite into a rostral half somite results...
