Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology reveals similarities in the development of insect and vertebrate body segments

Work by researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) in Greece, whose results are published today in the journal Science, reveals that the repeated parts of animal bodies – for example the vertebrae in our spine – are generated by a similar mechanism not only among vertebrates (fish, birds, mammals, etc.) but also in our more distant relatives, the insects.
