Abstract: | The establishment of a segmental pattern within the vertebrate body plan is achieved during embryogenesis by the somitogenesis process. Two molecular systems have been implicated in this phenomenon: a molecular clock linked to vertebrate segmentation and the Notch signalling pathway. Rhythmic expression of the Lunatic Fringe gene in the presomitic mesoderm has now provided a link between these two systems. |
