Abstract excerpt
We propose a new mathematical model describing the establishment of maternal and gap proteins segmental patterning along the antero-posterior axis of the Drosophila early embryo. This model is based on experimental data and, without recurring to pre-defined activation thresholds, predicts qualitatively and quantitatively the expression patterns of the maternal and gap proteins, as well as the expression patterns...
