This wonderful movie has repeatedly popped up into my twitter feed. http://quantixed.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ctenophore.mp4 It was taken by Tessa Montague and is available here (tweet is here). The movie is striking because of the way that cytokinesis starts at one side and moves to the other. Most model systems for cell division have symmetrical division. Rob de Bruin commented that “it makes total sense to segregate this way”.
