A unit in a class on Modeling in Developmental Biology
Rationale: Why was this topic chosen?
• Pattern formation in development is a fundamental problem in biology. It is a topic where math has provided deep insight. Extensive modeling has been done in this area.

Somitogenesis
• Formation of the initial segmentation patterns (somites) that ultimately lead to vertebrae.

Wavefront (FGF)
• A tail-to-head gradient and “threshold effect” moving front a fixed distance from the tail.

Think-Pair-Share, Group Discussion and Class Share
• Think and work in pairs for 3 minutes.• As a table, share your results (2 minutes) and
come up with a final answer to present to the class.
• Consider a mutant organism with a difference in either the dynamics of the clock (“her” expression), or in the gradient that sets the wavefront (“fgf” expression). Predict the pattern of somites that should be observed as the mutant organism develops.
