Noncanonical asters and cell-like compartments form normally in extracts containing Xenopus laevis sperm nuclei. Widefield time-lapse images of microtubule dynamics in egg extracts supplemented with demembranted sperm nuclei, showing noncanonical aster and cell-like compartment formation in the extracts. Related to Fig. 1.
