pattern formation

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_formation

Comment 1: In terms of the Drosophila development in the Biology section, I'm afraid that the simple idea of "morphogen gradient guided position locating" is more or less out of date (1960s). The cutting-edge research has been focusing on how the spatial precision is achieved against all kinds of noise in a living system. The representative works are "Houchmandzadeh, B., Wieschaus, E., & Leibler, S. (2002). Establishment of developmental precision and proportions in the early Drosophila embryo. Nature, 415(6873), 798-802." and "Gregor, T., Tank, D. W., Wieschaus, E. F., & Bialek, W. (2007). Probing the limits to positional information. Cell, 130(1), 153-164.".

Comment 2: The section of Computer graphics is distracted to me. For the sake of coherence, Pattern formation should be limited to the natural science. The generation of organic-looking textures for more realistic shading of 3d objects really has nothing to do with the conventional "pattern formation" since it usually comes as a physical or biological terminology. My personal suggestion is to delete the "Computer graphics" section here and create another topic for the Computer graphics and the new topic is affiliated to the computational science.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mocarlo

Hello Mocarlo,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mocarlo for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
