Abstract :
We present a new model of anisotropic reaction-diffusion systems and the algorithmic framework of the software Redi (Reaction-Diffusion simulator) that implements this model. As illustrative application, we show the ability of Redi to reproduce the observed dynamics of the bicoid protein gradient in the Drosophila Melanogaster embryo.
