Spiralian quartet developmental potential is regulated by specific localization elements that mediate asymmetric RNA segregation.

Abstract excerpt

Spiralian embryos are found in a large group of invertebrate phyla but are largely uncharacterized at a molecular level. These embryos are thought to be particularly reliant on autonomous cues for patterning, and thus represent potentially useful models for understanding asymmetric cell division. The series of asymmetric divisions that produce the micromere quartets are particularly important for patterning...
