Preface This volume is the result of an explosion of molecular-based research on cilia which began with the discovery of the universality of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and ciliary genomics/ proteomics at the turn of the millennium and attracted new interest and new investigators into the field. The cilium is a cell organelle with nanometer substructure which can be studied with techniques at the cutting edge of molecular biology. We invited expert contributors associated with these techniques, their sometimes specialized instrumentation and their implications for ciliary biology, to join us in writing chapters for the volume. Unlike previous Methods volumes, this one is broadly based, covering motile, sensory, and primary cilia and it should be attractive to anyone interested in entering the field of ciliary biology using model orga
