Computational Model of Flower Pattern Evolution Predicts Spontaneous Emergence of Boundary Cell Types Across Petal Epidermis

The paper develops a computational model to study petal pattern evolution, finding that boundary cell types emerge spontaneously during bullseye pattern formation.

Differentiable Vertex Model: Exploring Gradient-Based Optimization for Tissue Morphogenesis

This study uses differentiable programming on a vertex model to explore how cell-level forces can be tuned to achieve predefined tissue shapes.

System drift in the evolution of plant meristem development

The paper investigates developmental system drift in plant meristem development using computational models and genomic data, finding frequent regulatory changes without corresponding gene expression shifts.

The Variability of Evolvability: Properties of Dynamic Fitness Landscapes Determine How Phenotypic Variability Evolves

This study investigates how environmental variability affects the evolution of genotype-to-phenotype maps and evolvability across different fitness landscapes.

Reproduction emerges from ecological interactions at the onset of multicellularity

This study shows multicellular reproduction emerges from ecological interactions in a computational model of evolving cells.
