General Information
Term ectodermal cell fate specification ID (Ontology) GO:0001715 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The cell fate determination process that results in a cell becoming becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an ectoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed.
Also Known As"ectoderm cell fate specification"
