Abstract excerpt
The one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo offers many advantages for mechanistic analysis of cell division processes. Conservation of key genes and pathways involved in cell division makes findings in C. elegans broadly relevant. A key technical advantage of this system is the ability to penetrantly deplete essential gene products by RNA interference (RNAi) and replace them with wild-type or mutant versions...
