KEY: reconstruction and modeling of embryogenesis

  • compare the color-coded fate and quantitative cell morphological properties
    • tree-distance to classify asymmetric and symmetric (cell fate)
  • hypothesis: contact area-dependent cell communication imposes constraints on embryonic geometries.
    • tree-edit distance (time domain, easy to do registration)

Abstract

  • invertebrate 無脊椎
  • homologous 同源的
  • rationale 理由

Introduction

  • early embryonic cell lineages are considered invariant
  • constitute attractive model systems to study the mechanisms driving cellular reproducibility.

Rationale

  • To quantify embryonic reproducibility in the ascidian …, cell lineages, cell shapes, cell interations.
  • segmentation and tracking of embryonic cells procedure(ASTEC)
  • Development of ascidians is characterized by lower cell number and earlier fate restriction. 94 of 110 early gastrula cells are fate restricted.

Result

  • Up to neurula, embryos develop without cell growth , programmed cell death, or cell neghbor exchanges.
  • Beyond cell position, cell cycle duration, and cell lineages we observed a high reproducibility of cell arrangements:
  • mechanistically, we uncovered a tight link between the control of cell arragements and asymmetric cell divisions.(which give rise to sister cells of distinct fates)
  • Combine

ANALYSIS

Conclusion

  • Establishes the highly reproducible ascidian embryo as a framework to bridge cell behaviors, morphogenesis, and the underlying regulatory program.
