Sudoku

Sudoku is a logical game to fill numbers from 1 to 9 inside the 9x9 boxes. The rule is simple: Each number should be used once in the same row, column, and 3x3 block.

In this experiment yeasts having information about the boxes will interact with other E. coli, and by applying a certain selection rule they decide the right numbers.

This process is a kind of parallel computation and it mimics differentiation in development.
