    Primary cilia are tiny hair-like structures expressed on the surface of eukaryotic cells. They participate in a range of processes, such as sensing the extracellular environment and regulating signalling pathways during development. Here, a functional genomic screen is presented that used RNA interference to identify human genes involved in controlling ciliogenesis. Several positive and negative ciliogenesis modulators with broad-ranging functions were found.
