Abstract excerpt
Tip morphogenesis during the Dictyostelium developmental life cycle is a process by which prestalk cells sort to form the anterior region of the multicellular organism. We show that the temporal regulation of this morphological process is dependent on the copy number of the Dictyostelium G alpha5...
