From genes to patterns: a framework for modeling the emergence of embryonic development from transcriptional regulation by Jimena Garcia-Guillen, Ezzat El-Sherif

“…Beginning with basic chemical reaction models of transcription at the single-gene level, we progress to model gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that mediate specific cellular functions. We then introduce phenomenological models of pattern formation, including the French Flag and Temporal Patterning/Speed Regulation models, and integrate them with molecular/GRN realizations. …”
