This project explores the genetic basis of segmentation clocks in arthropods and vertebrates, focusing on the beetle Tribolium castaneum. It aims to identify genes involved in segment formation and assess evolutionary relationships between different species.
Many biological processes, with relevance to human development and disease, occur under the control of 'molecular clocks'.
One such process is the rhythmical formation of somites during vertebrate embryogenesis.
Somites are blocks of tissue that give rise to reiterated vertebrae and their associated muscle.
The sequential formation of somites along the body axis of vertebrate embryos occurs via the activities of the vertebrate segmentation clock.
My recent work has shown that the body units (se…
