Evolving morphogenetic fields in the zebra skin pattern based on Turing's morphogen hypothesis

Carlos Graván, Rafael Lahoz-Beltra (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

One of the classical problems of morphogenesis is to explain how patterns of different animals evolved resulting in a consolidated and stable pattern generation after generation. In this paper we simulated the evolution of two hypothetical morphogens, or proteins, that diffuse across a grid modeling the zebra skin pattern in an embryonic state, composed of pigmented and nonpigmented cells. The simulation experiments were carried out applying a genetic algorithm to the Young cellular automaton: a...
