In the July 18th edition of biobytes, Andrea Cantú

(University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA) describes how early

embryos coordinate the proliferation and migration of primordial germ cells (Cantú

et al.) and Andrew Grenfell (University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley,

CA) explains how mitotic RNA processing promotes kinetochore and spindle assembly

(Grenfell et

al.). Plus a round-up of other highlights from The Journal of

Cell Biology. The show was written and produced by Caitlin Sedwick and

Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short. See the associated papers in

JCB for details on the funding provided to support these

original research studies.
