Making segments


My latest column for Seed is now available online. It’s an abbreviated summary of how vertebrates make segments (so it’s illustrated with a fly…), with special emphasis on the global and clocklike mechanism we use.

    I have to volunteer that I received my first issue of SEED in the mail today! Actually, the August and October issues arrived together, but I’m psyched.
    Looking forward to the article, PZ.

    Clearly, you should have been involved in that editorial choice, PZ. At least then we would’ve gotten a bonus cephalopod in the process. ;-)
