Theoretical and computational modelling are crucial to understand dynamics of embryonic development. In this tutorial chapter, we describe two models of gene networks performing time-dependent acquisition of positional information under control of a dynamic morphogen: a toy-model of a bistable gene under control of a morphogen, allowing for the numerical computation of a simple Waddington's epigenetic landscape, and a recently published model of gap genes in Tribolium under control of multiple enhancers. We present detailed commented implementations of the models using python and jupyter notebooks.
