Fig. 5: Possible alternative pathways in C. elegans embryonic development.
From: A neural network-based model framework for cell-fate decisions and development

The chart represents the differentiation topology of C. elegans embryonic development with the corresponding developmental stages and pathways. Black lines indicate the default branches of forks transitions, while gray lines illustrate the triggered branch of forks. Colored arrows indicate alternative pathways illustrated in ref. 49, which can be interpreted in our model. Color of the arrows represent reproducibility: greens are feasible, while red arrows illustrate the alternative pathways that are not achievable.
