The division patterns of early invertebrate and vertebrate embryos are key to the specification of cell fates and embryo body axes. We here describe a generic computational modeling method to quantitatively test mechanisms which specify successive division position and orientation of eggs and early blastomeres in 3D. This approach should serve to motivate and guide future experimental work on the mechanisms controlling early embryo morphogenesis.
