How precise are noisy #morphogen gradients in #tissue #patterning?

It turns out that the positional information they convey to #cells in the #neuraltube is much more accurate than previously estimated!

Our new #devbio paper is out in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/cH8Fx Image
A methodological subtlety has previously led to overestimated positional errors of the morphogen gradients in the mouse neural tube. We reanalysed the noisy gradients and found that the positional information they can convey to cells is actually orders of magnitude more precise. Image
Also, morphogen gradients in differently sized tissues must not be pooled and rescaled to their mean length, or else an artificial positional error is added. Image
