Abstract excerpt
Ontogenetic growth can be described by mathematical equations constructed on the goodness of fit. Recently, the biological mechanism underlying mathematical growth equations has been explored using basic cellular properties. Here, we derive a general statistical model for understanding the genetic regulation of ontogenetic growth by integrating those biologically-proven meaningful growth equations into a...
