A peek inside the clockwork that drives embryonic body patterning
The architecture of the body is not encoded as a formal blueprint; rather, it's the tightly orchestrated activation and deactivation of genes that coordinate body development.

The architecture of the body is not encoded as a formal blueprint; rather, it's the tightly orchestrated activation and deactivation of genes that coordinate body development. Many of these processes are not fully understood, but RIKEN researchers have made important headway toward reconstructing how critical building blocks within a vertebrate embryo take shape.
