Abstract

The genetic mechanisms that control asymmetric cell divisions--yielding progeny cells that differ from one another--have been conserved among prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes, and higher organisms. All use the paradigm of regulatory protein localization as a way of translating genetic information into three-dimensional space.
