And hundreds of centrioles, intended for eventual construction of cilia at the cell surface, got stuck in the cell body. If the cell cycle were like a particular score played by a molecular orchestra, ...

This Protocol from the Misteli lab describes how to determine the cell cycle stage of each individual cell in a population by using fluorescence microscopy and automated image analysis software.

Although the cell cycle of eukaryotes has been described in molecular detail, the bacterial cell cycle remains poorly understood. Genome sequencing projects have shown that the main regulators of ...
