Simulation Model of Ray Patterning in Zebrafish Caudal Fins

The bony fin rays of the zebrafish caudal fin are a convenient system for studying bone morphogenesis and patterning. Joints and bifurcations in fin rays follow predictable spatial patterns, though the mechanisms underlying these patterns are not well understood. We developed simulation models to ex...
