Continuum theory of gene expression waves during vertebrate segmentation

Continuum theory of gene expression waves during vertebrate segmentation

The segmentation of the vertebrate body plan during embryonic development is a rhythmic and sequential process governed by genetic oscillations. These genetic oscillations give rise to traveling waves of gene expression in the segmenting tissue. Here we present a minimal continuum theory of vertebra...
