title: Histone Marks Direct Chromosome Segregation.
abstract: Germline stem cells divide asymmetrically, producing a self-renewing stem cell and a differentiating progenitor. Xie et al. now show that this depends on two asymmetric events that together partition a genome copy, carrying the old histones to the stem cell daughter and a copy with new, unmarked histones to the differentiating daughter.
