This study identifies Cfap410a as a novel component of the Drosophila ciliary transition zone and shows its cooperative function with Cby in TZ assembly, with tissue-specific requirements.

This study shows ALMS1 is essential for centriole proximal architecture and stability, with loss of ALMS1 causing structural defects in RPE1 cells.

This study identifies Alms1a and Alms1b as regulators of centriole duplication in Drosophila by enabling the Plk4-Ana2 amplification loop and Sas-6 recruitment.

This study identifies two modules, Cep131-Cep162 and Cby-Fam92, that cooperatively maintain Cep290 at the basal body and initiate ciliogenesis.
