During insect development segments either form sequentially (short-germband) or simultaneously (long-germband) . The gap genes comprise the first zygotic regulatory layer of the segmentation gene hierarchy in flies, which use the long-germband mode. A data-driven mathematical model reveals that two distinct dynamical regimes govern anterior and posterior trunk gap gene patterning in Drosophila melanogaster. Stationary anterior domains rely on multi-stability whilst the observed anterior shifts of posterior domains are an emergent property of a damped oscillator mechanism. Both types of dynamics are recovered by a three-gene sub-network embedded in the gap gene regulatory network, which can also sustain oscillations. Oscillations are not ...
