Abstract: Gene expression levels within a cell are determined by the network of regulatory interactions among genes. In spatially extended systems of multiple cells, gene expression levels are also affected by activity in neighbouring cells. This interplay of a genetic regulatory network and interactions among neighbouring cells may qualitatively alter the dynamics of gene expression and is at the core of biological pattern formation.
