The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo has anterior/posterior, dorsal/ventral, and left/right axes that correspond to spatially asymmetric patterns of cell differentiation. Recent studies have provided insight into how the different embryonic axes are determined and have shown that the products of the glp-1, skn-1, cap-1, and cap-2 genes appear to be distributed asymmetrically in the early embryo. These gene products should provide important tools for understanding how asymmetries are established initially in nematode embryogenesis.
秀丽隐杆线虫胚胎具有前/后、背/腹和左/右轴，这些轴与细胞分化的空间不对称模式相对应。最近的研究深入了解了不同胚胎轴是如何确定的，并表明glp-1、skn-1、cap-1和cap-2基因的产物似乎在早期胚胎中不对称分布。这些基因产物应该为理解线虫胚胎发生中不对称性最初是如何建立的提供重要工具。
