Supplementary information S1 (movie) | Asymmetric division of a Drosophila SOP

D. melanogaster sensory organ precursor (SOP) cell expressing GFP-Pon (green) and Histone2B-RFP (red). Anterior is to the left. The SOP is $approx$ 10 micro m in diameter. Note that GFPPon is segregated to the anterior of the SOP, and is thus inherited by pIIb. Modified with permission from ref. 1.

Supplementary information S2 (movie) | Asymmetric division of a one-cell stage C. elegans embryo

C. elegans embryo expressing GFP-PIE-1 (green) and imaged using dual time-lapse DIC and fluorescence microscopy; the GFP and DIC images have been overlaid. Anterior is to the left. The embryo is $approx$ 50 micro m-long. Note that the bulk of GFP-PIE-1 is segregated to the posterior of the one-cell embryo.
