The formation of new Golgi has been unclear, but is thought to be by a process of either budding from the endoplasmic reticulum or autonomous replication from an existing Golgi structure. In 1 August Nature, Laurence Pelletier and colleagues at Yale University School of Medicine, Connecticut, US, show that in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii the Golgi replicates by lateral extension followed by medial fission (Nature 2002, 419:548-552).
