Modeling a tadpole: a multi-level approach

Our aim is to understand the trajectory of the auxin molecules in the tadpole's organism. More precisely, we will try to link what we see in the tadpole to what is happening in it's organs to what is happening in it's cells. Therefore, we will model this trajectory by a multi-level approach:

• First we will link what we'll see during the experiments to the transport of auxin through each organ.
• Then we'll "zoom" at each organ in order to study the interaction among it's cells and the auxin molecules.
• Finally we'll model the expression of genes in the cells that create and use the auxin.
