Exogenous expression of a histone H3.3 isoform causes extranuclear divisions in the C. elegans intestine

Carmen Herrera Sandoval, Christopher Borchers, Kara Osburn, Becky Boyd, Scott Takeo Aoki

The paper shows that expressing a histone H3.3 isoform in C. elegans intestine causes extra nuclei, suggesting a role for histone H3.3 in nuclear division beyond mitosis.
