Abstract. In models of growth and life history, and in
molecular and cell biology, there is a need for more accurate
frames of reference to characterize developmental progres-
sion. In Caenorhabditis elegans, complete fate maps of cell
lineage provide such a standard of reference. To be more
widely applicable, reference frames should be easier to
