Visit Chris Doe’s laboratory web site at the Institute of Neuroscience, University of Oregon and click on “Asymmetric Cell Division” to learn more about the kinds of molecules that are asymmetrically distributed in neuroblasts in order to produce molecularly distinct daughter cells (page 523 Wolpert text). This site also contains remarkable advanced resources for tracking neuroblast cell lineages in Drosophila.
