DESCRIPTION:Much progress has been made recently in our understanding of h
 ow genes control patterns of cell types with in an organism during its dev
 elopment.  However\, the link between this process of patterning and growt
 h of multicellular shapes and forms is much less well understood.  Bridgin
 g this gap requires a quantitative understanding of how genes modify growt
 h of multicellular tissues in 3D space at multiple scales.  We have been a
 ddressing this problem using a combination of genetic\, morphological\, co
 mputational and imaging approaches.  The results provide new insights into
  how genes interact with patterns of growth at various scales to modify sh
 ape.  Through this process it is possible to generate forms that would be 
 the envy of an origami expert but it is all done with no hands.
