This volume is the result of an explosion ofmolecular-based research on Cilia, which began with the discovery of theuniversality of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and ciliary genomics/proteomics.The chapters in this book cover topics such as: high resolution imaging andfunctional characterization of sensory and primary cilia in mammalian cells andzebrafish, methods to study ciliary-mediated chemoresponse in Paramecium,and methods to study centrosomes and cilia in C. elegans and Drosophila.Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format,chapters include introduction to their respective topics, lists of thenecessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratoryprotocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Practical and cutting-edge, Cilia:Methods and Protocols is broad and covers motile, sensory, and primarycells. It is a valuable resource to anyone interested in entering the field ofciliary biology using model organisms, including flagellate algae, ciliates,planaria, nematodes, insects, zebrafish, and mammalian cells.
