Parallel Solutions for Voxel-Based Simulations of Reaction-Diffusion Systems

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the space domain. The 2D grid of compartments represents a section of the nucleus in which two genes, G1 and G2 (black rectangles), are located. Four regulatory factors (represented with different colour circles) can diffuse within this environment. Compartments filled in yellow have a lower free space, which model the macromolecular crowding due to chromatin. The representation is not in scale with actual sizes used in simulations.
