Analysis of her1 and her7 mutants reveals a spatio temporal separation of the somite clock module.

Somitogenesis is controlled by a genetic network consisting of an oscillator (clock) and a gradient (wavefront). The "hairy and Enhancer of Split"- related (her) genes act downstream of the Delta/Notch (D/N) signaling pathway, and are crucial components of the segmentation clock. Due to ge...
