Abstract excerpt
The asymmetric division of the one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans zygote gives rise to two cells of different size and fate, thereby establishing the animal's anterior--posterior (a-p) axis. Through genetics, a number of genes required for this polarity have been characterized, but many components remain unidentified. Recently, our laboratory discovered a mutation in the pod-1 gene (for polarity and osmotic...
