This study uses time-lapse imaging to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of early somite segmentation in chicken embryos, revealing differences in formation rates and coupling with the somitogenesis clock.

The paper investigates how fibronectin-dependent tissue mechanics influence the translation of segmentation clock gene oscillations into periodic somite formation in the presomitic mesoderm.
