Hey there! I am a Developmental Biology Fall 2013 student. I'm new to Wikipedia editing and I can't wait to start.

Article Edits

Oogenesis - The oogenesis in non-mammals should be expanded, a section about hormonal control and environmental influences on oogenesis should be added (just like in the spermatogenesis wiki article), and the role of apoptosis during stages of oogenesis should be included in this article.

Myotome - This page could use some serious organizing and tightening up of the definition of myotome. Additionally, I think it would be beneficial for the page to clearly lay out how the myotome arises from the dermomyotome and information about the formation of myotomal fibers. It would also be interesting to include information on the role and regulation of myosin expression during myotome formation. Sections should be made for myotome formation in mammals (for which there is information on mice and humans) and non-mammals (for which there is information on zebrafish).
