Probabilities have been converted into percentages for clarity. Fates for P4.p and P8.p (or P5.p and P7.p) have been averaged, since we assume that the pattern is symmetrical around the AC, and P3.p is not considered in this study as it often does not divide and fuses with the hypodermis, assuming tertiary fate. Abbreviations: TD = training data; VD = validation data. Developmental stages: (L2 lethargus) lethargic L2; (Early L3) early L3; (DU divided) Dorsal Uterine precursor cells dividing or divided once; (VU divided) Ventral Uterine precursor cells dividing or divided once; (3° divided) 3° cells have divided; (2-cell stage) all Pn.p cells have divided once.
