Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate embryos faithfully produce bilaterally symmetric somites that give rise to repetitive body structures such as vertebrae and skeletal muscle. Body segmentation is regulated by a cyclic gene expression system, containing the Delta-Notch pathway and targets, which generates bilaterally symmetric oscillations across the Pre-Somitic Mesoderm (PSM). The position of the forming somite boundary is controlled...
