The attractors of our model. There is a total of eight cyclic attractors, with time running from left to right. Activity of LIN-12i, in orange, is a marker of the secondary fate (Attractors D, E, F and G). A high level of activity (2 in our model) of LIN-39, in dark blue, is a marker for the primary fate (Attractors A, B, and C). The tertiary fate is represented exclusively by attractor H, which is characterized by a low level of activity of LIN-39, and no LIN-12i, LIN-3, or lateral signal (LS) activity (This pattern of expression is observed in the VPCs during L2). CDK-4/CYD-1, shown in pale green, is activated before the S phase. CDK-2/CYE-1, shown in green, is a marker of the S phase. CDK-1/CYB-3, in dark green, is a marker for the M phase.
