Abstract excerpt
About 8 hr after the initiation of development in Dictyostelium discoideum, a few randomly scattered cells express prestalk specific genes and subsequently sort out to the top of the aggregate where they form a tip. The tip elongates and forms the anterior of the migrating slug before differentia...
