Abstract: The roundwormCaenorhabditis elegans is a unique and useful model for studying animal development. The formation of the roundworm's 558 cells from a few embryonic parent cells is a process that does not vary from embryo to embryo. A new report shows that the gene lit-1helps to maintain this remarkable invariance by maintaining the correct anterior and posterior fates of embryonic cells.
