“…Without gradient scaling, the clock and wavefront model predicts a 31 single smaller somite following the induced larger somite, but the size of the following somites 1 immediately returns to normal (Fig. 6L), consistent with previous theoretical work (Baker et al, 2 2006). Interestingly, for a class of mechanisms that assumes that the "size" of a somite is what is 3 determined, rather than the "position" of the next somitic furrow (e.g.…”
