Abstract:23Populations often display consistent developmental phenotypes across individuals 24 despite the inevitable biological stochasticity. Nevertheless, developmental robustness 25 has limits and systems can fail upon change in the environment or the genetic 26 background. We use here the seam cells, a population of epidermal stem cells in 27 Caenorhabditis elegans, to study the influence of temperature change and genetic 28 variation on cell fate. Seam cell development has mostly been studied so far in the lab… Show more
