Abstract excerpt
Defects in ciliary signaling or mutations in proteins that localize to primary cilia lead to a class of human diseases known as ciliopathies. Approximately 10% of mammalian genes encode cilia-associated proteins, and a major gap in the cilia research field is knowing which genes to prioritize to study and finding the in vivo vertebrate mutant alleles and reagents available for their study. Here, we present a...
