Clocks and Dominoes: Timing Mechanisms of Embryogenesis

2026-01-26

Abstract excerpt

How developmental timings are regulated is a fundamental open question. Two widely considered mechanisms are the clock, in which an internal timer determines when each stage occurs, and the domino, in which the completion of each stage triggers the next. It is often unclear how to establish either mechanism. Here, we construct a quantitative framework that uses the correlation structure of developmental timings to...
