The question still remains of whether there are fundamental principles underlying this developmental genotype-phenotype mapping. - The specific regulatory mechanisms underlying the coordination of cell-fate decisions and morphogenesis are highly contingent on both the developmental stage of the organism and the species to which the organism belongs.

It remains poorly understood how in vitro environmental conditions cause divergence from natural developmental trajectories, and current strategies emphasize restricted characterization of phenotype without appreciating the complexity of biology in maintaining pluripotency and driving differentiation.
