Abstract
• The fate of the C. elegans P3.p cell is stochastic. • β-catenin (BAR-1) accumulated in P3.p at the time of the cell fate decision. • There is variability in dynamics of Hox and β-catenin levels during the decision. • BAR-1 accumulated with variable pulse slope and time of pulse onset. • Pulse dynamics bias cell fate at the time of the cell fate decision.
