Segmentation gene

A segmentation gene is a gene involved in the early developmental stages of pattern formation. It regulates how cells are organized and defines repeated units in the embryo. Segmentation genes have been documented in three taxa: arthropods (i.e. insects and crabs), chordates (i.e. mammals and fish), and annelids (i.e. leeches and earthworms). In…
