Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nematode vulva formation provides a paradigm to study the evolution of pattern formation and cell-fate specification. The Caenorhabditis elegans vulva is generated from three of six equipotent cells that form the so-called vulva equivalence group. During evolution, the size of the vul...
