Turing patterns in development: what about the horse part?
Abstract
For many years Turing patterns-the repetitive patterns which Alan Turing proved could arise from simple diffusing and interacting factors-have remained an interesting theoretical possibility, rather than a central concern of the developmental biology community. Recently however, this has started to change, with an increasing number of studies combining both experimental and theoretical work to reveal how Turing models may underlie a variety of patterning or morphogenetic processes. We review here the recent developments in this field across a wide range of model systems.

In the citing paper
“The most famous is the Turing instability associated with reaction–diffusion mechanisms [206,207], which exemplifies the role of self-organization as a mechanism to generate spatial order through symmetry-breaking instabilities [208].”

In the citing paper
“These self-organizing phenomena typically involve the interaction between local amplification (due to reaction dynamics) and long-range communication due to diffusion-like processes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
