A mathematical theory proposed by Alan Turing in 1952 can explain the formation of fingers

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Researchers have shown that BMP and WNT proteins are the so-called 'Turing molecules' for creating embryonic fingers. Findings explain why polydactyly -- the development of extra fingers or toes -- is relatively common in humans, affecting up to one in 500 births, and confirms a fundamental theory first proposed by the founding father of computer science, Alan Turing, back in 1952.
