Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, this paper shows that ASH1 mRNA is localized to the future daughter cell in a manner that depends on the actin cytoskeleton. The preferential accumulation of ASH1 mRNA explains the asymmetry in transcriptional repression of HO between mother cell and daughter bud.
