- Description:
- This dataset includes an example cell packing (containing ~20,000 cells). This example cell packing is the same cell packing in Supplementary Figure 11. The Corson_PBC_Square_Sweep_func.m is the main function for simulating lateral inhibition on this (and other) example packings. Please see readme for which simulation parameters may be tuned within this lateral inhibition function.

- Description:
- This dataset contains images of UV cone nuclei near the retinal margin in live zebrafish. These UV cone nuclei are labelled by transgenic expression of a fluorescent reporter (that is photoconvertible). The most important data are: 1. The zoomed-in (4X magnification) images of UV cone nuclei immediately after photoconversion 2. The zoomed-in (4X magnification) images of UV cone nuclei 2-4 days after photoconversion Also included is code for segmenting UV cone nuclei (both in image from immediately after photoconversion and in image from days later) and for shifting and rotating the two images to maximally align corresponding UV cone nuclei. After aligning corresponding UV cones, we compute triangulations over UV cone nuclei positions (for both images) and identify bonds that are common to both images. We use these common bonds to calculate the lattice vectors for the UV cone lattice.

- Description:
- The outer epithelial layer of zebrafish retinae contains a crystalline array of cone photoreceptors, called the cone mosaic. As this mosaic grows by mitotic addition of new photoreceptors at the rim of the hemispheric retina, topological defects, called “Y-Junctions”, form to maintain approximately constant cell spacing. The generation of topological defects due to growth on a curved surface is a distinct feature of the cone mosaic not seen in other well-studied biological patterns like the R8 photoreceptor array in the _ Drosophila compound eye. Since defects can provide insight into cell-cell interactions responsible for pattern formation, here we characterize the arrangement of cones in individual Y-Junction cores (see Set of images for Figures 1 and 2 and 6 and Supplementary Figure 7) as well as the spatial distribution of Y-junctions across entire retinae (see Dataset for analyzing spatial distribution of Y-junctions in flat-mounted retinae). We find that for individual Y-junctions, the distribution of cones near the core corresponds closely to structures observed in physical crystals (see Set of images for Figures 1 and 2 and 6 and Supplementary Figure 7). In addition, Y-Junctions are organized into lines, called grain boundaries, from the retinal center to the periphery (see Dataset for analyzing spatial distribution of Y-junctions in flat-mounted retinae and Dataset for measuring tendency of Y-junctions to line up into grain boundaries during incorporation into retinae). In physical crystals, regardless of the initial distribution of defects, defects can coalesce into grain boundaries via the mobility of individual particles. By imaging in live fish, we demonstrate that grain boundaries in the cone mosaic instead appear during initial mosaic formation, without requiring defect motion (see Dataset for measuring tendency of Y-junctions to line up into grain boundaries during incorporation into retinae and Dataset for analyzing Y-junction motion in live fish retinae). Motivated by this observation, we show that a computational model of repulsive cell-cell interactions generates a mosaic with grain boundaries (see Code and example simulations of phase-field crystal model (for cone mosaic formation)). In contrast to paradigmatic models of fate specification in mostly motionless cell packings (see Code and accompanying input data for simulating lateral inhibition on motionless cell packing), this finding emphasizes the role of cell motion, guided by cell-cell interactions during differentiation, in forming biological crystals. Such a route to the formation of regular patterns may be especially valuable in situations, like growth on a curved surface, where the resulting long-ranged, elastic, effective interactions between defects can help to group them into grain boundaries.
