ALT Figure 3: Examples where modulation of morphogen signalling maps to changes in patterning and form between species

ALT Picture of the last lab trip, a visit to Bletchley Park. The statue in the picture is of Alan Turing, who, in addition to helping crack the German coded messages during WWII, also worked in biomathematics and actually coined the term ‘morphogen’. Charlotte and Ruben are on the left side of the picture.

ALT Studying orbits of gene expression to understand developmental tempo. A common gene regulatory network across species (left) is expected to have different biochemical parameters that results in different gene expression trajectories (middle). Nevertheless, the function can be captured by studying the orbit of gene expression (right).
