Inhalt:
Seminar talks cover topics concerning the mechanisms of pattern formation in the development of animals and plants, with emphasis on reaction diffusion systems. In the laboratory course, we start with simple systems (radioactive decay, diffusion laws, biochemical oscillations, predator-prey models, travelling chemical waves, lateral inhibition systems) and then move to more complex models, such as formation of stripes in 2D, Drosophila segmentation, vertebrate somitogenesis, growth of veins, positioning of leaf primordia (phyllotaxis). On this basis then models from the current literature are brought into our software environment and we explore the properties and experimental implications of these models in the computer.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Students will acquire the following skills: they
are familiar with current concepts concerning the biochemical basis of pattern formation in developmental biological processes
have obtained an understanding of the practical use of differential equations and reaction diffusion models
are able to present and critically discuss mathematical models in current developmental research articles
are able to independently develop working hypotheses, and to plan, program and analyse reaction diffusion models to test these hypotheses
can discuss their results and defend their conclusions in proper context
Literatur:
Introductory review articles will be provided electronically
