Cell pattern formation has a crucial role in both artificial and natural development. We present results from experiments in which a genetic algorithm was used to evolve an extended artificial regulatory network to produce predefined 2D cell patterns through the selective activation and inhibition of genes.
Furthermore, in REF , they have evolved an Artificial Regulatory Network (ARN) for cell pattern generation, producing the French flag pattern.
