Abstract
Turing patterns are a key theoretical foundation for understanding organ development and organization. While they have been found to occur in natural systems, implementing new biological systems that form Turing patterns has remained challenging. To address this, Tica et al.1 used synthetic genetic networks to engineer living cellular computers that successfully generate Turing patterns within growing bacterial populations.
