Figure 4—figure supplement 4.

(A) PSM radius r as a linear function of time. s_r represents the absolute value of slope of a linear line. (B) Snapshots of spatial phase patterns of a simulation with decreasing PSM radius. The simulation was started from a synchronized initial condition for illustration. Color scale as in Figure 2A. The black vertical line indicates the position of the anterior end of the PSM x_a. (C), (D) Dependence of times to FRS (blue) and PLD (green) on t_wash-out with (C) s_r = 0.0064 μm min^–1 (red line in A) and (D) s_r = 0.0192 μm min^–1 (blue line in A). Only the PSM radius changed over time, whereas all the other parameters were kept constant. Simulations were started from random initial conditions. The box-whisker plot indicates (0.05, 0.25, 0.75, 0.95) quantiles of times to FRS and PLD for 100 realizations of simulations. The white bars indicate median. ss: somite stage.
