Developmental biology: regulation by selective gene localization.
Recent studies have shown that, early during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, the temporary exclusion of 70% of the chromosome from the forespore compartment is critical to the regulated activation of two major transcription factors, sigma(F) and sigma(E).
