N.B. According to nomenclature, cell names in embryonic lineages are written without a period between the blast cell name and ant/post or left/right divisions (e.g., AB apa), while in postembryonic lineages a period is introduced between blast cell name and ant/post or left/right divisions (e.g., Z1.pap)
