That’s exactly right and what I’m referring to. If this was a germline mutation, x ligand would not be recognized throughout, as opposed to in one location. I’m sure it could be germline, it just looks more somatic. You’re talking about gap genes and segmentation and it incredibly cool stuff.

Hmm... yes, I concur.
