Our project aims for the biological implementation of [https://2014.igem.org/Team:ETH_Zurich/project/background/modeling#Cellular_Automata cellular automata], so we had to find a way to create a regular grid of cells with a defined neighborhood as shown in the figures below. On the left side a classical cellular automata is depicted (see fig. 1), on the right side an outline of [https://2014.igem.org/Team:ETH_Zurich/project/overview#Implementation_in_E._coli our biological version] consisting of a grid-like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip filled with [https://2014.igem.org/Team:ETH_Zurich/lab/bead cell colonies encapsulated in alginate beads] (see fig. 2).
