My third PhD manuscript is on BioRxiv: "Somitic Change Drives Changes in Vertebral Regionalisation in African Cichlids Despite Strong Canalisation of Somite Number" (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Thanks to my co-authors and supervisors @bertaverd.bsky.social and Roger Benson. Thread below...
Somitic Change Drives Changes in Vertebral Regionalisation in African Cichlids Despite Strong Canalisation of Somite Number
Vertebrae arise from somites, transient embryonic segments that rhythmically bud from the presomitic mesoderm during axial elongation. The number and identity of vertebrae are ultimately determined by...
