                         concept of multiscale fractal dimension (MFD) as a resource for 
                         quantifying three-dimensional gene expression patterns in 
                         embryonic development. While traditional fractal dimensions 
                         provide interesting possibilities for quantifying pattern 
                         complexity, as defined by the intensity in which the pattern 
                         interacts with its surrounding space, those approaches fail to 
                         take into account the important fact that natural objects are not 
                         perfectly self-similar. By expressing the fractal behavior 
                         explicitly in terms of the spatial scale, the MFD provides a more 
                         comprehensive and objective characterization of the complexity of 
                         natural data such as gene expression profiles. After presenting 
                         the MFD concept as well as a technique for its numerical 
                         estimation, the potential of this measure for objectively 
                         quantifying gene expression is discussed, and a complete example 
                         is provided regarding the three-dimensional expression of the 
                         myogenic marker gene Myf5 along successive somites in a mouse 
                         embryo. In this specific case, the adopted technique proved itself 
                         a useful means for identifying spatial variations of gene 
                         expression intensity.",
