Cilia

Featured collection: Basal bodies across eukaryotes

This series of short reviews, guest edited by Monica Bettencourt Dias and Mark Winey, introduces the essential elements of basal bodies in a variety of organisms in which they have been studied.

Basal bodies, the microtubule-based structures at the base of all types of cilia, have nine-fold, radial symmetry and are maintained into ciliary axonemes. This series illustrates simultaneously the highly conserved nature of this structure and the presence of species specific structures.
