Fig. 1 Mapping of Temporal Oscillations into a Spatial Wave Pattern during Somite Segmentation, and a Model of the Oscillator Mechanism (A) The expression pattern of the oscillating gene deltaC in a zebrafish embryo at the ten-somite stage. (B) In each cell of the presomitic mesoderm, it is proposed that a her1 or her7 autoinhibition negative feedback loop generates oscillations. (C) Communication via the Delta-Notch pathway is proposed to keep oscillations in adjacent cells synchronized. The oscillations depend critically on the delays (T_m, T_p, T_md, and T_pd) in the feedback loops. (A–C) are slightly modified from [25].
