Heirarchy and Modularity
Graphics from acadmic publication, “Modularity and hierarchy in biological systems: Using gene regulatory networks to understand evolutionary change” in Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 2021
A visual framework to understand the concepts of modularity and hierarchy in biological systems.
Animal development is a process of increasing modularization, which can be depicted as a hierarchy.
