Abstract excerpt
The generation and orientation of cellular and organismic polarity are fundamental aspects of development. Mutations in the gene lin-44 of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reverse both the relative positions of specific sister cells and the apparent polarities of these cells. Thus, lin-44 muta...
