Segmentation (biology): Art, Embryology & Overview

Segmentation in biology is the division of some animal and plant body plans into a linear series of repetitive segments that may or may not be interconnected to each other. This article focuses on the segmentation of animal body plans, specifically using the examples of the taxa Arthropoda, Chordata, and Annelida. These three groups form segments by…

Segmentation (biology) relationships Subject–Predicate–Object triples

TTTA extracted 10 structured relationships around Segmentation (biology). Examples in this analysis include the fruit fly form segments from a field of equivalent cells based on transcription factor gradients → instance of → Arthropods and the leech use smaller blast cells budded off from large teloblast cells to define segments.ArthropodsAlthough Drosophila segmentation is not representative of the arthropod phylum in general → instance of → Annelids. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
