A new study on how to engineer synthetic gene networks, recreates the stripe patterns found in animals, using bacteria.
Researchers at the CRG try to understand how networks of genes work together to create specific patterns like stripes. They have gone beyond studying individual networks and have created computational and synthetic mechanisms for a whole "...
