Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are essential for cilia formation in multiple organisms, but surprisingly, cilia form in multiple zebrafish ift mutants. Here, we detected maternal deposition of ift gene products in zebrafish and found that ciliary assembly occurs only during early developmental stages, supporting the idea that maternal contribution of ift gene products masks the...
