Wouldn't think of mathematics to describe fish patterns, but then again, I'm not a world renown mathematician like Turning.

Great post and a very interesting subject @dexterdev!
I will be looking forward for your Visual Explained post about it too :)

I will surely do it once. The thing is the math is quite challenging. So for a wider audience, I have to come up with some easy and intuitive explanation. Let me think about how to make this concept more presentable. @katerinaramm : thank you for reading this.

Awarded 4 out of 6 owls:
Great job!
Details: The spelling and grammar was not awarded since it contains a number of grammatical errors. No spelling errors were found. The clarity and completeness owl was almost awarded. It should be mentioned that in the case of the Zebra fish there is molecular evidence which indicates that the pigment patterning is determined by the Turing mechanism. In addition the mechanism discovered is different from what the mathematical model predicted Watanabe,2015

Amazing post! It's great how math and computational skills can be really useful in biology.

Thank you. Yeah math and computational skills can be really useful in biology. Especially these days biology is looking towards more quantitative style of problem solving. More engineers, More physicists and More computer scientists are starting to look into biology. This is an exciting time period.

Interesting one @dexterdev
Well, I only know about the developmental biology of an organism, how it attains its shape and development of organs. I didn't know that it can can be related mathematically....
Cheers

Good to know that you found it interesting. There are multiple examples. In my previous examples, I have more reaction-diffusion related articles. Even the chemical system Beluosov-Zabotinsky reactions are biologically inspired ones. Similarly, minD system which dictates the E. Coli bacterial division is also modelled via reaction-diffusion. But again there are a lot of criticisms too. Mainly from pure biologists.

I guess if you keep thinking mathematically, everything in nature can take a mathematical form. This is truly amazing. Some of us are not very good with math so than you for taking the pains to spare us that :)

I happy to hear that this helped. :) In fact, the math in notations may be difficult. But if we spare some time with the concepts they are not very hard to crack. :)

Many CS people don't know his contribution in this field. It is literally non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Very interesting article. It's also nice to see MATLAB used here. Sure brings back memories.
Following you now.

Do you use MATLAB. Matlab ruined me. :P It made me lazy. haha. I should have spent more time on python instead. But when I was beginning these things in 2006 or so I never knew about python. Later numpy gained popularity. :(

That was a great and quite informative post @dexterdev. Please keep up the quality posts. I will stay tuned in order to find out more about the different sorts of models used to classify fish.
Thanks
