Towards a mathematical theory of developmentIn this talk we introduce a mathematical model to describe temporal processes like embryonic development and cellular reprogramming. We consider stochastic processes in gene expression space to represent developing populations of cells, and we use optimal transport to recover the temporal couplings of the process. We apply these ideas to ...
