JR Collier‚ D. McInerney‚ S. Schnell‚ PK Maini‚ DJ Gavaghan‚ P. Houston and CD Stern

Abstract

After many years of research, the mechanisms that generate a periodic pattern of repeated elements (somites) along the length of the embryonic body axis is still one of the major unresolved problems in developmental biology. Here we present a mathematical formulation of the cell cycle model for somitogenesis proposed in Development 105 (1989), 119-130. Somite precursor cells in the node are asynchronous, and therefore,
