Cell-autonomous timing drives the vertebrate segmentation clock’s wave pattern by Laurel A Rohde, Arianne Bercowsky-Rama, Guillaume Valentin, Sundar Ram Naganathan, Ravi A Desai, Petr Strnad, Daniele Soroldoni, Andrew C Oates

“…This shows that cell-extrinsic signals are not required by the cells to instruct the developmental program underlying the wave pattern. We show that a cell-autonomous timing activity initiates during cell exit from the tailbud, then runs down in the anterior-ward cell flow in the PSM, thereby using elapsed time to provide positional information to the clock. …”
