抄録

<jats:p>Digit identity has been studied using the chick embryo as a model system for more than 40 years. Using this model system, several milestone findings have been reported, such as the apical ectodermal ridge (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AER</jats:styled-content>), the zone of polarizing activity (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ZPA</jats:styled-content>), the <jats:italic>Shh</jats:italic> gene, and the theory of morphogen and positional information. These experimental results and models provided context for understanding pattern formation in developmental biology. The focus of this review is on the determination of digit identity during limb development. First, the history of studies on digit identity determination is described, followed by descriptions of the molecular mechanisms and current models for determination of digit identity. Finally, future questions and remarkable points will be discussed.</jats:p>
