Morphogenesis software based on epigenetic code concept.

ABSTRACT: The process of morphogenesis is an evolution of shape of an organism together with the differentiation of its parts. This process encompasses numerous biological processes ranging from embryogenesis to regeneration following crisis such as amputation or transplantation. A fundamental theoretical question is where exactly do these instructions for (re-)construction reside and how are they implemented? We have recently proposed a set of concepts, aiming to respond to these questions and to provide an appropriate mathematical formalization of the geometry of morphogenesis [1]. First, we consider a possibility that the evolution of shape is determined by epigenetic information, responsible for realization of different types of cell events. Second, we suggest a set of rules for converting this
