Abstract

In developmental biology, to support reasoning about cause and effect, it is critical to link genetic pathways with processes at the cellular and tissue level that take place beforehand, simultaneously or subsequently. While researchers have worked on resolving with respect to absolute time, events mentioned in medical texts such as clinical narratives (e.g. Zhou et al, 2006), events in developmental biology are primarily resolved relative to other events.
