## Abstract The entry of β‐catenin into vegetal cell nuclei beginning at the 16‐cell stage is one of the earliest known molecular asymmetries seen along the animal–vegetal axis in the sea urchin embryo. Nuclear β‐catenin activates a vegetal signaling cascade that mediates micromere specification an
