Abstract excerpt
In Caenorhabditis elegans, two lateral blast cells called P11/12L and P11/12R are symmetric left-right homologs at hatching, migrate subsequently in opposite anteroposterior directions during the first larval stage, and adopt two different fates, thus breaking the symmetry between them. Our results show that, unlike most other cell fate decisions in C. elegans, the orientation of P11/12L/R migration is highly...
