Abstract excerpt
The C. elegans gene unc-86 is required in several distinct neuroblast lineages for daughter cells to become different from their mothers, and is also required for the specification of particular neural identities. Consistent with the fact that unc-86 encodes a POU domain protein, we find that the...
