The mechanism by which morphogenetic signals engage the regulatory networks responsible for early embryonic tissue patterning is incompletely understood. Here, we developed a minimal gene regulatory network (GRN) model of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lineage commitment and embedded it into “cellular” agents that respond to a dynamic morphogenetic signaling microenvironment. Simulations demonstrated that GRN wiring had significant non-intuitive effects on tissue pattern order, composition, and dynamics. Experimental perturbation of GRN connectivities supported model predictions and demonstrated the role of OCT4 as a master regulator of peri-gastrulation fates. Our so-called GARMEN strategy provides a multiscale computational platform to understand how single-cell-based regulatory interactions scale to tissue domains. This foundation provides new opportunities to simulate the impact of network motifs on normal and aberrant tissue development. A minimal pluripotency GRN captures germ-layer emergence in micropatterns A master GRN can yield different tissues based on the inter-/intracellular context Cells decode position by considering gradients cumulatively OCT4 acts as a master regulator for the maturation of germ-layer markers in hPSCs Here, Kaul and colleagues report on a computational framework by coupling GRN activity with dynamic signaling via agents. They show that a master GRN can lead to different tissues depending on the signaling context. They demonstrate how GRNs orchestrate activity to yield developmental waves that can be predictively controlled. A key finding is that cells decode position by considering gradients cumulatively.
