体節形成に関与する遺伝子の数々はショウジョウバエの発生学遺伝学研究で明らかになりました。

Each thoracic segment has a pair of legs (insects are the six-legged creatures). In Drosophila (and other flies), the middle thoracic segment carries a single pair of wings; the hind segment a pair of halteres. 8 abdominal segments.

ショウジョウバエを用いて生き物の体がどのようにしてできてくるのかを調べるときに、遺伝子をランダムに壊して、その結果ある遺伝子が壊れときにはどのような「奇形」(表現型)が生じてくるかを調べるという戦略がもちいられました。
ショウジョウバエの幼虫は14個の体節からなります。遺伝子を破壊する研究により、代表的な奇形のパターンとして、GAP、PAIR RULE、SEGMENT POLARITYの3つが浮かび上がってきました。ギャップというのは、胴体の一部分がごそっとなくなる表現型です。ペアルールというのは、体節が一個おきになくなるもので、偶数番目の体節がなくなるのがeven-skippedで、奇数番目の体節がなくなるのがodd-skippedになります。セグメントポラリティは、ひとつの節の領域の一部がなくなるものです。

- Odd-Paired: The Drosophila Zic Gene Adv Exp Med Biol . 2018:1046:41-58. doi: 10.1007/978-981-10-7311-3_3. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29442316/ Zinc finger in the cerebellum (Zic) proteins are a family of transcription factors with multiple roles during development, particularly in neural tissues. The founding member of the Zic family is the Drosophila odd-paired (opa) gene. The Opa protein has a DNA binding domain containing five Cys2His2-type zinc fingers and has been shown to act as a sequence-specific DNA binding protein. Opa has significant homology to mammalian Zic1, Zic2, and Zic3 within the zinc finger domain and in two other conserved regions outside that domain. opa was initially identified as a pair-rule gene, part of the hierarchy of genes that establish the segmental body plan of the early Drosophila embryo. However, its wide expression pattern during embryogenesis indicates it plays additional roles. Embryos deficient in opa die before hatching with aberrant segmentation but also with defects in larval midgut formation. Post-embryonically, opa plays important roles in adult head development and circadian rhythm.

Loss of opa function during eye/antennal disc development results in defects in ventral head structures identical to those observed with loss of dpp.
