Diversification of the vertebrate limb: sequencing the events.

Abstract excerpt

Naturalists leading up to the early 20th century were captivated by the diversity of limb form and function and described its development in a variety of species. The advent of discoveries in genetics followed by molecular biology led to focused efforts in few 'model' species, namely mouse and chicken, to understand conserved mechanisms of limb axis specification and development of the musculoskeletal system....
