Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a small‐bodied tropical, freshwater fish species originally from
South Asia. The ease of care, year‐round prolific breeding, and transparent, external …

Segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm is a major event of vertebrate development that
establishes the metameric patterning of the body axis. This process involves the periodic …

Embryonic cell fates are defined by transcription factors that are rapidly deployed, yet
attempts to visualize these factors in vivo often fail because of slow fluorescent protein …

Organismal development requires the reproducible unfolding of an ordered sequence of
discrete steps (cell fate determination, migration, tissue folding, etc.) in both time and space …

Mutations of several genes cause incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity of
phenotypes, which are usually attributed to modifier genes or gene-environment …

The Segmentation clock is a population of cellular genetic oscillators, located in the
posterior of the elongating vertebrate embryo, that governs the rhythmic and sequential …

An introduction to the mathematical, computational, and analytical techniques used for
modeling biological rhythms, presenting tools from many disciplines and example …

Sequential segmentation creates modular body plans of diverse metazoan embryos,,–.
Somitogenesis establishes the segmental pattern of the vertebrate body axis. A molecular …

Gene expression is an inherently stochastic process,; however, organismal development
and homeostasis require cells to coordinate the spatiotemporal expression of large sets of …

During embryonic and adult neurogenesis, neural stem cells (NSCs) generate the correct
number and types of neurons in a temporospatial fashion. Control of NSC activity and fate is …
