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