Rhythmic patterning of the zebrafish embryo
How do spatiotemporal patterns emerge at the tissue level from noisy cellular and molecular interactions? What are the principles that govern transitions from parts to wholes, and those that determine precision and robustness? We explore these questions using a population of genetic oscillators in the vertebrate embryo termed the segmentation clock.
