We present some theoretical considerations about the initial process of pre-patterning during embryonic segmentation, with particular reference to somite formation. We first suggest that the pre-pattern is a stable spatial sinusoidal (or, at least, periodic) wave. The periodic wave originates from a
Somites are transient structures which represent the most overt segmental feature of the vertebrate embryo. The strict temporal regulation of somitogenesis is of critical developmental importance since many segmental structures adopt a periodicity based on that of the somites. Until recently, the me
