A proposed mechanism for the interaction of the segmentation clock and the determination front in somitogenesis.
BACKGROUND: Recent discoveries in the field of somitogenesis have confirmed, for the most part, the feasibility of the clock and wavefront model. There are good candidates for both the clock (various genes expressed cyclically in the tail bud of vertebrate embryos have been discovered) and the wavef...
