Abstract excerpt
Mutations impacting cilia genes lead to a class of human diseases known as ciliopathies. This is due to the role of cilia in the development, survival, and regeneration of many cell types. We investigated the extent to which disrupting cilia impacted these processes in lateral line hair cells of zebrafish. We found that mutations in two intraflagellar transport (IFT) genes, ift88 and dync2h1, which lead to the...
