title: Cytokinesis: Placing the Furrow in Context.
abstract: A Caenorhabditis elegans mutant has been identified in which an ectopic myosin cap shifts the cleavage furrow relative to the spindle center. Surprisingly, the molecules that suppress this cap in wild-type embryos generate a cap in other asymmetrically dividing cells.
