Researchers at Harvard University have been able to find out when the bone axis formed by vertebrae is produced by achieving for the first time the differentiation of the genes that govern the formation of the vertebrae.

The moment in which the bone axis formed by vertebrae occurs has been clarified. Researchers at Harvard University have managed for the first time to separate the genes that govern vertebrate formation. As for prediction, there is great curiosity among scientists. How far can you get? Will we fully understand the evolution of all vertebrates? All these questions cannot yet be answered because the Harvard discovery has just begun.

Harvard researchers know perfectly well the little thing you see in the photo below. It was an embryo when this group of scientists continued to observe its development. This step showed that a group of genes regulated the distribution of bone and cartilage segments. The first step was taken.
