Models for pattern formation in somitogenesis: a marriage of cellular and molecular biology

S. Schnell‚ PK Maini‚ D. McInerney‚ DJ Gavaghan and P. Houston

Abstract

Somitogenesis, the process by which a bilaterally symmetric pattern of cell aggregations is laid down in a cranio-caudal sequence in early vertebrate development, provides an excellent model study for the coupling of interactions at the molecular and cellular level. Here, we review some of the key experimental results and theoretical models related to this process. We extend
