Coupled Positive and Negative Feedbacks Produce Diverse Gene Expression Patterns in Colonies
ABSTRACT Formation of patterns is a common feature in the development of multicellular organism as well as of microbial communities. To investigate the formation of gene expression patterns in colonies, we build a mathematical model of two-dimensional colony growth, where cells carry a coupled posit...
