Abstract
Anterior-posterior patterning of the vertebrate nervous system also involves partition into discrete territories. This is particularly evident in the hindbrain where overt segmentation occurs. Nevertheless, little is known about the segmentation genes and mechanisms that may be involved. This paper intends to describe the molecular clock associated with vertebrate somitogenesis, suggesting that it may be operating in many other patterning processes.
