The periodic formation of somites during vertebrate segmentation has been suggested to involve a molecular 'segmentation clock'. Recent observations of cyclic Lunatic fringe expression in chick and mouse embryos link the segmentation clock to Delta-Notch signalling.
脊椎动物分节过程中体节的周期性形成被认为涉及一种分子“分节时钟”。最近在鸡和小鼠胚胎中对周期性表达的Lunatic fringe的观察将分节时钟与Delta-Notch信号传导联系起来。
