Colored chart showing the emergence of terminally differentiated cells in C. elegans from 200 to 400 minutes of embryogenesis.

Emergence of Terminally Differentiated Cells in each cell type class, relative to the 400 minutes of embryogenesis. be 200 to 300 minute period is sampled at 5-minute intervals, while the 300 to 400 minute period is sampled at 30-minute intervals. Bottom of figure is labeled with the corresponding developmental stages and images of the embryo during select times.Data sources:[A] Cell Lineage and Timing Data, Nikhil Bhatla @ WormWeb.[B] Annotations of Terminally Differentiated Cells.
