text: Like many developing tissues, the vertebrate neural tube is patterned by antiparallel
morphogen gradients. To understand how these inputs are interpreted, we measured
morphogen signaling and target gene expression in mouse embryos and chick ex vivo
assays. From these data, we derived and validated a characteristic decoding map
that relates morphogen input to the positional identity of neural progenitors.
Analysis of the observed responses indicates that the underlying interpretation
strategy minimizes patterning errors in response to the joint input of noisy opposing
gradients. We reverse-engineered a transcriptional network that provides a mechanistic
basis for the observed cell fate decisions and accounts for the precision and
dynamics of pattern formation. Together, our data link opposing gradient dynamics
in a growing tissue to precise pattern formation.
