Abstract excerpt
Most somatic cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans arise from AB, the anterior blastomere of the 2-cell embryo. While the daughters of AB, ABa and ABp, are equivalent in potential at birth, they adopt different fates as a result of their unique positions. One such difference is that the distribution of epidermal precursors arising from ABp is reversed along the anterior-posterior axis relative to those...
