Cell 95, 829–837 (1998).By knocking out a subunit of the anterograde IFT motor kinesin-II in the mouse, these authors showed that loss of nodal cilia caused situs inversus. This, and further work (references 18–20 ) led to the hypothesis that the nodal cilia set up a morphogenetic gradient that determines left–right asymmetry. 10.1016/s0092-8674(00)81705-5
