In the same spirit of the ones performed in Ref., or alter the physical fields and expect alterations in flower organ disposition. The recovery of patterns similar to those observed in actual wild type flowers, including the appearance of sepal primordia as bulges in the outer part of the floral meristems, as well as the spatial patterns of genetic configurations observed in mutants, serve as a validation of the overall Enzalutamide assumptions of the model and provide some new predictions. Nonetheless, it is likely that more detailed GRN and physical field models will be required to provide more specific predictions. The fact that our results are fairly robust to alterations in the parameters, suggest that the overall coupling of GRN and physical dynamics, proposed here, very likely incorporates key aspects of flower morphogenesis and provides a plausible hypothesis for the emergence of positional information during cell patterning. In this paper we have presented results keeping the size of the meristem constant. In actual flower development it is undeniable that this is not the case and our calculations should be regarded as a dynamical process in which cell differentiation and proliferation occur, and at early stages yield domain growth and later on balance each other when a final domain size is attained. It is known that the different whorls of organs appear in the meristem at different times in a well-ordered sequence. Our model can be readily extended to include the growth of the domain and study precisely this sequential transformation. This extension is currently under investigation and it will be the subject of future publications. Genetic mutations are the hallmark of cancer. High-density genome-wide analyses of biological samples using conventional high-throughput comparative genomic DNA microarrays discern recurrent DNA copy-number alterations i.e., gains or losses from acquired uniparental disomy regions in the cancer genome. The availability of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism genotype-array technology and suitable analytical tools has revealed the presence of aUPD, which has now been recognized in various cancers, and it can pinpoint regions that contain homozygously mutated, methylated, or imprinted genes. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of cancer requires detailed cataloguing of all genetic and epigenetic lesions—not just identification of CN changes, but also detection of aUPD, DNA sequence, and methylation changes—in cancer cells. Because of the previous lack of high-throughput technology and analytical tools, to date very few reports have been published in breast cancer about either genome-wide aUPD analysis or aUPD for specific genes, such as RB1 and TP53.
