Abstract excerpt
Somitogenesis is a highly controlled process that results in segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm. Notch pathway activity in the presomitic mesoderm is fundamental for management of synchronized gene expression which is necessary for regulation of somitogenesis. We have isolated an embryonic lethal mutation, SBU2, that causes somite formation defects very similar to Notch pathway mutants. SBU2 mutants generate...
