Abstract excerpt
Advances in image acquisition and informatics technology have led to organism-scale spatiotemporal atlases of gene expression and protein distributions. To maximize the utility of this information for the study of developmental processes, a new generation of mathematical models is needed for discovery and hypothesis testing. Here, we develop a data-driven, geometrically accurate model of early Drosophila...
