Molecular clocks underlying vertebrate embryo segmentation: a 10-year-old hairy-go-round

Segmentation of the vertebrate embryo body is a fundamental developmental process that occurs with strict temporal precision. Temporal control of this process is achieved through molecular segmentation clocks, evidenced by oscillations of gene expression in the unsegmented presomitic mesoderm (PSM,...
