Abstract excerpt
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved structures with many sensory and motility-related functions. The ciliary base, composed of the basal body and the transition zone, is critical for cilia assembly and function, but its contribution to cilia diversity remains unknown. Hence, we generated a high-resolution structural and biochemical atlas of the ciliary base of four functionally distinct neuronal and sperm cilia...
