Modeling gradient formation in the fission yeast
From testwiki
Background Molecular gradients are widely used in biological systems to convey positional information. In fission yeast the Pom1 gradient is used to determine the positioning and timing of the cell division. This gradient has been shown to be robust t
'Aim: The aim is to mathematically model the Pom1 gradient formation, compute the precision that can be expected from such a gradient and compare it to the precision that can be actually observed in fission yeast cells
Mathematical Tools Partial differential equations, statistics. The R software will be used
